The Dwyer Panthers will challenge the John Carroll Catholic Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Dwyer is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.4 runs per game this season.

Dwyer is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Spanish River just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Tuesday. They fell 6-3 to the Sharks.

Holt Flowers spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on six hits.

At the plate, Max Abrams was cooking despite his team's loss, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and two RBI. Robert Howard also deserves some recognition as he got his first hits of the season.

Meanwhile, Saturday just wasn't the day for John Carroll Catholic's offense. They fell just short of Sebring by a score of 2-0 on Saturday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Rams have suffered since April 23, 2024.

John Carroll Catholic also got a good showing from Colt Miller, who tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. That's the fewest earned runs Miller has allowed over his last four matchups.

This is the second loss in a row for John Carroll Catholic and nudges their season record down to 11-8. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 7 runs in those games. As for Dwyer, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-7.

Dwyer might still be hurting after the 12-4 loss they got from John Carroll Catholic when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Will the Panthers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
