The Belen Jesuit Wolverines will venture away from home to face off against the St. Brendan Sabres at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 29, 2025. The Wolverines come to this matchup on the back of a three-game losing streak, having suffered their biggest defeat since April 23, 2024, just two days prior, when they fell 6-0 to Doral Academy. That match marked the first time this season the Wolverines were unable to score.
On the other hand, there’s no place like home for the St. Brendan Sabres. They rallied back after suffering from a loss on the road to defeat Palmer Trinity 8-1 on Wednesday, February 26. With the recent win, they’ve increased their scoring average to 6.1 runs per game, showcasing the strength of their lineup going forward.
Henry Perera led the pitch with remarkable performance, allowing no earned runs or hits over four innings, which demonstrated the Sabres' pitching depth. Meanwhile, Diego Alvarez shined at the plate, scoring once and reaching base three times out of four plate appearances. His performance also earned him new career-highs with two RBIs during the game.
Giannicarlo Guzman-Garcia played his part as well, notching his first hit of the season along with two runs scored. Overall, St. Brendan displayed their hitting prowess, finishing the game with an impressive on-base percentage (OBP) of .514. When they post such high OBP numbers, their record stands firm at 3-0.
Conversely, Belen Jesuit's loss has brought their record down to 3-3. The Wolverines will be looking to break their slump and reignite their season with this rematch against the Sabres. They previously faced St. Brendan back in March 2024 and emerged victorious with a convincing score of 10-0, but they will not have the comfort of home-field advantage this time.
The historical performance may play heavily on the minds of both teams. While Belen Jesuit has capitalized on the confidence from their earlier win, St. Brendan will look to reverse their fortunes from last year's result against the Wolverines. Will the Sabres be able to leverage their home-field advantage and continue their stellar hitting, or will the Wolverines rise to the occasion to halt their losing streak?
Fans eagerly await the outcome, and either way, this matchup is expected to deliver excitement, rivalries, and sporting drama. Check back after the game with MaxPreps for the complete breakdown and analysis.
