The week begins indoors for the boys, as rain has wiped out Monday’s outdoor schedule. All three of the boys’ volleyball programs in Catholic schools are in action, led by a showdown between Archmere and Christiana.

Baseball and the other sports hope to be back in action on Tuesday. There are a couple of enticing baseball games set for Tuesday, beginning a busy stretch on the diamond.

It’s a good idea to make sure your games are still on the schedule if the weather is iffy. Also, ticket and other policies vary by school and location.

Baseball

Tuesday, April 8

Archmere (2-3) vs. St. Elizabeth (3-2), 3:45 p.m. at Canby Park

Newark Charter (4-2) at Saint Mark’s (4-0), 4 p.m. The Spartans embark on a busy stretch of games, weather permitting. Saint Mark’s begins with Newark Charter, a team that has either won with lots of offense or been shut out. The Spartans are coming off an extra-inning win over Appoquinimink.

Salisbury Christian vs. Ss. Peter and Paul (0-6), 5:30 p.m. at Chesapeake College

St. Georges (3-0) at Salesianum (2-1), 6 p.m. St. Georges visits Fusco Field for the first time and brings an undefeated record with them. The Hawks have not had much trouble scoring runs, and the Sals didn’t until their last game. Thanks to two postponements, Salesianum is now in the middle of a seven-game homestand to open the season.
