Softball Report: John Curtis looks to win district title Tuesday against Mount Carmel

Area Prep Softball Report for Tuesday, April 10

If the second chapter is like the first one, it should be quite a contest.

John Curtis Christian looks to clinch the District 9-5A softball championship and the top-seed in the Division I playoffs when the Patriots face Mount Carmel at 4 p.m. at the JPRD Complex in Metairie this afternoon. A victory by the Cubs would result in a tie for the district title.

The Lady Patriots tuned up with a hard earned 8-6 victory at Belle Chasse Monday for their fifth consecutive victory. Alyssa Dean led the charge, driving in four runs, including a three-run home run in the fifth inning. Remi Hebert picked up the win, going the distance, allowing three earned runs on eight hits.

The Cubs (17-5, 4-1) tuned up with a convincing 10-2 victory at Walker Monday.

Curtis (19-6, 5-0) rallied past Mount Carmel 4-3 on Mar. 20 at River Ridge in a thriller when Dean belted a two-out, walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh in a dramatic finish.

Also at stake, most likely, is the top-seed in the Division I playoffs. The latest LHSAA power rankings released a week ago had Mount Carmel slightly ahead of the Lady Patriots but Curtis has likely moved ahead of the Cubs, going 4-0 since the rankings were released while Mount Carmel went 1-1, falling to St. Amant before beating Walker.
