Burroughs and Chaminade are an even 3-3 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Bombers will head out on the road to square off against the Red Devils at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Burroughs' favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last four matchups.

The home team had come away the winner the last five times Burroughs and Priory had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Bombers blew past the Ravens 12-1 on Tuesday. The Bombers have beaten the Ravens the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Ravens has come to flipping the script.

Meanwhile, Chaminade suffered their biggest loss since April 30, 2024 on Wednesday. They lost 8-1 to Alton. Having soared to a lofty 17 runs in the game before, the Red Devils couldn't push the score so high this time.

Chaminade got a good showing from Owen Plocher, who pitched 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the first time Plocher hasn't allowed a single hit since back in April.

At the plate, Chaminade saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Tyler Williamson, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.

Burroughs' win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-3. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Chaminade, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-22.

Burroughs skirted past Chaminade 2-1 when the teams last played back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bombers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
