The Saints are 19-9 this season and are coming off a non-conference sweep of the NAIA’s #24 ranked Concordia yesterday. Today they face a #10 ranked Corban squad that is riding a 17 game win streak.
Also at 1:00 PM, the North Thurston baseball squad takes on Sumner in non-conference action. The Rams have had quite the week against the Tacoma schools knocking off Lincoln and Foss by a combined 42-1 allowing just two hits in three games.
