The Mater Lakes Academy Bears will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Calvary Christian Academy Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Mater Lakes Academy is leaving town to face Calvary Christian Academy after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Mater Lakes Academy fell just short of Hialeah Educational Academy by a score of 5-3 on Tuesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Bears have suffered since March 19, 2024.
David Ortega was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched six innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. That's the fewest earned runs he has allowed since back in April of 2024.
At the plate, Mater Lakes Academy saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kenny Bencosme, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI. The dominant performance also gave Bencosme a new career-high in hits (two).
Meanwhile, Calvary Christian Academy's season-opener on Tuesday wasn't quite what the team was looking for considering the end result. Neither they nor Cardinal Newman could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 tie.
