Pacelli came tearing into Saturday's contest with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top against the Amherst Falcons by a score of 4-1. For the Cardinals, this counts as revenge for the 5-2 win the Falcons walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.
Pacelli got a great performance from Keltin Opper as he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Opper has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Pacelli's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lucas Haemmerle, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Malise Beduhn was another, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Pacelli pushed their record up to 8-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Amherst, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-4.
Pacelli will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Falcons: the pair will be back at it again later today.
