| On Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers of GFS made it 3 wins in a row as they defeated the visiting Churchmen of Episcopal Academy by a score of 17-2.

Goodman was 3-4 on the day with an RBI and 4 runs scored. Query was 2-3 with 4 RBI's and 2 runs scored. Sr. Mike Barsotti chipped in with a 2-2 day that included a 2 RBI triple in the 4th inning. Sr. David Marvin and Jr. Rasheed Stewart also contributed with RBI doubles.
After the Tigers scored a run in the 1st inning, EA answered back in the top half of the 2nd to even the game at 1-1. However, the GFS bats responded by scoring 8 runs in the 2nd to take a commanding 9-1 lead and added to their advantage with 4 runs in the 3rd and 4 more in the 4th.
Soph. Jesse Biddle did his part on the mound by pitching 5 strong innings. He allowed only 2 hits while striking out 7 and walking 2.
The Tigers are back in action this upcoming Friday when they hit the road to take on Friends League opponent Abington Friends. Game time is slated for 3:45 p.m.
