Central Catholic proved they can win big last Friday (they won by nine) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-6 victory over the Oakdale Mustangs. That's more bragging rights for the Raiders, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
The team relied heavily on Broden Thomas, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played. Hudson Walker also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
