For the first time this season, Xavier will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They are taking a road trip to challenge the Fordham Prep Rams at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
Last Tuesday, Xavier came up short against Archbishop Molloy and fell 7-2.
Meanwhile, Fordham Prep hadn't done well against Iona Prep recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Saturday. Fordham Prep never let Iona Prep get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Rams.
Joseph Penny looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk).
At the plate, Fordham Prep saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Derek Soroa, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three RBI, one triple, and one run.
Xavier might still be hurting after the 7-1 loss they got from Fordham Prep in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can Xavier avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
