The Gulliver Prep Raiders will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Immaculata-La Salle Royal Lions at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Gulliver Prep comes in still looking for their first win of the season.
Gulliver Prep is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to ten runs two weeks ago, they were much more limited against NSU University last Tuesday. They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Sharks.
Gulliver Prep saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Chase Cherne, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Luis Flores also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Meanwhile, after only one run in their last contest, Immaculata-La Salle made sure to put some runs up on the board against Mater Bay Academy on Tuesday. Immaculata-La Salle put the hurt on Mater Bay Academy with a sharp 15-4 victory. The result was nothing new for the Royal Lions, who have now won five matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Brandon Nu?ez made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base. He is becoming a predictor of Immaculata-La Salle's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jonny Quintana, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two). Jeremy Fornos was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.
Immaculata-La Salle is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 16.3 runs. Gulliver Prep's loss dropped their record down to 0-4.
Gulliver Prep took their win against Immaculata-La Salle in their previous meeting back in April of 2022 by a conclusive 13-1. Will Gulliver Prep repeat their success, or does Immaculata-La Salle have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
