The Seton Catholic Sentinels will challenge the Globe Tigers at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Globe will be up against a hot Seton Catholic team: the squad just extended their winning streak to four. Seton Catholic blew past ALA - Ironwood 20-1 on Thursday. The Sentinels might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by six runs or more this season.
Brady Stephenson looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits.
On the hitting side, Seton Catholic let P.J. Rafford and Jax Minnis run wild. Rafford got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Minnis scored two runs while going 3-for-4.
