The Chadwick Dolphins will take on the Crossroads Roadrunners in a tournament on Thursday. Both teams are coming into the contest red-hot, with Chadwick sitting on three straight victories and Crossroads on five.
Chadwick's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 win over Army-Navy.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Crossroads). They were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over Pacific Ridge on Wednesday. Considering the Roadrunners have won four matchups by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Avery Deutch was a standout: he scored two runs and stole three bases while going 1-for-1. Crossroads is undefeated when Deutch posts two or more runs, but 4-5 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Alfred Bloomingdale, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-2.
Crossroads always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .552. The last time their OBP was this high was back in March of 2024.
Crossroads pushed their record up to 7-5 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Chadwick, they now have a winning record of 5-4.
Chadwick couldn't quite get it done against Crossroads in their previous meeting back in March of 2018 as they fell 5-0. Will the Dolphins have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
