Just like the previous matchup with the Blue Wave, SF took a big lead. In the first matchup, FSCJ stormed all the way back to make things interesting, but the Saints were much tidier this time around...
A GAME-CHANGING PLAY…
The seven-run inning in the top of the fourth proved to be more than enough run support for the pitching staff. 13 batters came to the plate in the frame, as SF produced four hits and five walks.
TEAM COMPARISON
Each team had seven hits in the game, but the Saints' patience in the batter's box, defensive acumen, and pitching command were the keys to dismantling FSCJ in this one…
The Saints took walks on a whopping 13 occasions, while hurlers Tobin Moran, Casey O'Dell, Ryan Brown, and Nick Davidson combined to toss a ratio of nine strikeout to no walks.
The Blue Wave committed three errors, while SF had no miscues.
