Catholic never got on the board in their matchup last Saturday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Westlake on Monday. They put the hurt on the Rams with a sharp 12-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won 17 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Davis Emonet made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one RBI.

In other batting news, Noah Lewis was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Andrew Clapinski was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI and one double.

Catholic hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in six consecutive contests.

Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 29-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.2 runs over those games. As for Westlake, their loss was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 19-10.

Looking ahead, Catholic will take on Live Oak at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Westlake, they will be playing at home against Pitkin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
