The York Prep Panthers will venture away from home to challenge the Leman Manhattan Prep Bull at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Last Tuesday, York Prep didn't have quite enough to beat St. Ann's and fell 7-5.
Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Leman Manhattan Prep ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Staten Island Academy 6-5. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Bull.
Riku Kaizuka and Jack Haskell made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Kaizuka pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Haskell didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over five innings pitched. At bat, Kaizuka scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4, while Haskell went 2-for-5 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI Haskell has posted since back in April of 2024.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Lucas Paulino, who scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-5. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.
York Prep took their win against Leman Manhattan Prep when the teams last played back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 6-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
