The Bishop Foley HS Varsity Ventures battled through a non-league doubleheader against Notre Dame Prep Fighting Irish on May 13, 2025, at BFC Venture Park, witnessing both close competition and challenging moments in their matchups.
The first game saw a challenging start for the Ventures as Notre Dame Prep quickly established a 5-0 lead in the first inning utilizing a sequence of effective plays including a crucial error and hits that brought in several runs.

In the second game, the Ventures faced another tough contest that highlighted their pitching strengths. Mason Kanar led on the mound, delivering a strong performance over six innings, allowing two unearned runs, and striking out seven. Despite his efforts and Bishop Foley managing a tight offensive game, they were narrowly defeated with a final score of 2-1. The batting lineup, led by Carson Coles who secured multiple hits, reflected a resilient team effort. Strategic base stealing by Cooper Dolot, Coles, and others kept the game competitive and showcased the Ventures' agile gameplay.
