St. Paul won the last time they faced Pope John Paul II and things went their way on Thursday too. The St. Paul's Wolves walked away with a 10-5 victory over the Pope John Paul II Jaguars. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Wolves considering their two-run performance the matchup before.

Drake Baudoin looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and not a single walk).

On the hitting side, St. Paul's let Brennan Keim and Jude Roberts run wild. Keim scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4, while Roberts scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Keim also hit a double, marking his first of the season. Payton Tate was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing two bases.

St. Paul's has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Pope John Paul II and nudges their season record down to 2-3.

Coincidentally, St. Paul's and Pope John Paul II will both be playing Dutchtown the next time they take the field. Pope John Paul II will head out to face Dutchtown at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, while St. Paul's will play them later in the day, at 6:30 p.m.
