Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Skutt Catholic). They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 18-16 victory over the Marian Crusaders on Thursday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the SkyHawks also won the last time the pair played back in September of 2024.
Leyton Michaelis was incredible, going 4-for-5 with one home run and eight RBI. Laini Michaelis was another key player, getting on base in five of her six plate appearances with three runs, one double, and one RBI.
Skutt Catholic was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .385 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
Skutt Catholic has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for Marian, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-4.
Looking ahead, Skutt Catholic will take on Aquinas in a tournament on Saturday. As for Marian, they will be playing at home against Bellevue West at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Thunderbirds have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.45 runs per game on average), something the Crusaders will no doubt try to take advantage of.
