Christian is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Monday. They will be playing in front of their home fans against the Coronado Islanders at 4:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Christian 3.4, Coronado 3.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
On Thursday, Christian didn't have quite enough to beat Scripps Ranch and fell 2-1. The Patriots have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Logan Major put in work while hitting and pitching. He pitched 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. He also put up a double, which was his first of the season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Coronado, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Thursday. They had just enough and edged out San Ysidro 4-3 on Wednesday. The win continues a trend for the Islanders in their matchups with the Cougars: they've now won five in a row.
Coronado's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-4. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Christian, their loss dropped their record down to 10-4.
Christian might still be hurting after the 10-1 defeat they got from Coronado in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. Can the Patriots avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
