Holy Spirit barely beat Lower Cape May the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Spartans blew past the Tigers 10-4 on Monday. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by six runs or more this season.

Brayden Birchler spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on six hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, Holy Spirit let Brendan Mooney and Gavin Cohen run wild. Mooney went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run, while Cohen went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most hits Cohen has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Ty Costablie, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.

Holy Spirit's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-3. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.3 runs over those games. As for Lower Cape May, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-12.

Holy Spirit will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Tigers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
