Cape Fear Christian Academy’s varsity baseball and softball teams are scheduled to play in the Patriot Invitational at Faith Christian School in Rocky Mount on Thursday.

The Eagles (1-1) meet Wilson Christian (0-0) in baseball at 6:30 p.m.

CFCA plays its season opener in softball at 6 p.m. against the host Patriots (2-0). Bad weather postponed the start of the softball campaign.

The Eagles are looking to bounce back from a 7-3 home loss in baseball to Kerr-Vance on Tuesday in which nine errors led to seven unearned runs for the Spartans (1-3).

CFCA was shut out until the seventh when a double to left by Conner Parrish, a walk to Eli Burns and a 2-run triple by Parker McLamb cut the lead to 7-2.

Mclamb scored on a double steal.

Fisher Stancil (61 pitches, 45 strikes) and Taylor Smith (36 pitches, 25 strikes) pitched effectively for the Eagles.

The outcome ended a 7-game winning streak for CFCA at home, dating back to 2024.
