Baseball Game Preview: Creekside Knights vs. St. Joseph Academy Flashes

The Creekside Knights will venture away from home to face off against the St. Joseph Academy Flashes at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Creekside 3.8, St. Joseph Academy 2.7) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Creekside is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They blew past Bolles 13-2 on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Matthew Bysheim tossed a big game, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). What's more, he gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had over his last five contests.

On the hitting side, Parker Morton was incredible, scoring three runs while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in hits (three). Gavin Duprey was another key player, going a perfect 1-for-1 with three RBI and one triple.

Meanwhile, St. Joseph Academy came tearing into Friday's match with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.2 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with a 6-3 victory over the Fightin' Tigers.

Cullen Garner made a splash while hitting and pitching. He pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Garner was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two doubles.

Garner wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Sean Miskowiec, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. Another was Camden Biskup, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.

Creekside has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. St. Joseph Academy's victory was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-1-1.
