Goddard had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Andover on Friday. The Lions never let the Trojans get on the board and left with a 6-0 win. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Lions also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2025.
The result came thanks to Cooper Dreiling's shutout, as he gave up just a hit and racked up seven Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
