Quality pitching leads to pair of shutouts for Cards
Quality pitching leads to pair of shutouts for Cards
This season has been an important one for the staff of pitchers and fielders on the Cards’ varsity baseball team. Many of their wins have been due to defensive success led by quality outings on the mound as well as limited mistakes on the field. Last week, the Cards continued their excellence on defense with back-toback victories over district opponents. Columbus found just enough offense to help support their efforts on the other side of the ball as their defense forced two shutout wins and extended their winning streak to six games. 03/29/2023 12:00 AM

The Rice Raiders’ baseball team has been falling victim to some of the same issues as they traverse a difficult season. Many of their problems are found on the defensive side of the ball as they struggle to find enough consistency to keep their opponents from having huge games offensively. Several opponents have scored into the double digits against Rice’s pitching and defense. On the other side of the ball, the Raiders have shown difficulties in getting on base and putting themselves into scoring positions on the base path. Many of these factors showed up once again during the Raiders’ last week of competition as they fell in two straight games after allowing over 20 runs in each. 03/29/2023 12:00 AM
