Fellowship Christian barely beat St. Francis the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Fellowship Christian's pitcher stepped up to hand St. Francis a 10-0 shutout on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Paladins, who have now won six contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
The result came thanks to Will Bracken's shutout, as he gave up just a hit and racked up six Ks. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in February.
At the plate, Will Hawkins was incredible, going 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in February. Tristan Costoulas was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-3.
Hawkins wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Fellowship Christian kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive games.
Fellowship Christian has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. St. Francis is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-13.
We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Fellowship Christian will take on rival King's Ridge Christian at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Meanwhile, St. Francis is set to face off against their familiar foe Mt. Bethel Christian Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
