SLUH Charges Past Rams With Season Ending Victory
The Jr. Bills ended their season on a positive note as they blew past the visiting Rams from MICDS 6-1. Jeff Brand had a phenomenal performance on the mound, needing just 83 pitches to strike out 8 in his 7 inning 1-hit complete game. He easily breezed through the Rams’ lineup until the 5th inning in which some unfortunate errors allowed runners to get on the corners, but he was able to end that terror by inducing a 4-6-3 double play, a trademark of the Bills this season. The top three hitters did the most damage in this game as Pat Roy scored three times, Steve Marincel had two doubles and scored twice, and Jeff Brand drove in three runs. After this season ending victory, the Jr. Bills’ record moves to 9-5 and they hope to improve and build on that in the coming Varsity season.
SLUH Can't Contain Cadets
The Jr. Bills sought for their revenge for the tough loss they had against rival CBC earlier in the year. Unfortunately, they may need to wait until next year for payback seeing that they lost 7-1 at Cadet Park. Ben Kraemer had four excellent innings pitched in which he had only given up 2 runs, but he struggled in the 5th. After Ben let 4 of 5 batters reach base, Brian Kinealy came in to stop the bleeding. He surrendered a few more runs in the process, but was able to pitch his way out of the jam. SLUH was able to get a hit in every inning but one; however they could not string any together in order to manufacture some runs. Following this loss, the Jr. Bills’ record goes to 8-5 on the year and 2-4 in the MCC standings.
No Spark Against Rival Spartans
On Monday, the Jr. Bills lost to DeSmet for the second time this year. Just like in the first game, SLUH’s pitching was unable to contain the bats of the Spartans. DeSmet scored in every inning with the exception of one, giving them a total of 16 runs on 11 hits. The bats of the Jr. Bills were lifeless except for the 4th inning, in which the Bills were able to get all of their four runs of the game. Freshman Christian Stark led the team with two triples and two RBI’s. After this loss, the Jr. Bills’ record moves to 8-4 on the year.

This win carries the Bills to an 8-3 record.
SLUH Comes Up Short Against Rival CBC
The Jr. Bills struggled at the plate through the first five innings, as they were unable to get a hit. Things were different for the Cadets, as they scored two runs in the top of the first.

SLUH’s bats came alive in the sixth inning, which started with Ryan McReynolds breaking up the no-hitter with a base hit up the middle. Going into the 7th inning, the Cadets were leading 4-2. In the top of the 7th, CBC scored two unearned runs which extended their lead to 6-2. The Jr. Bills were only able to muster out three more runs in their half of the 7th, leaving them one shy of CBC. After this heartbreaking loss, SLUH will seek revenge when they battle the Cadets again on May 8th.

SLUH Prevails In Thrilling Comback Victory Over Parkway West
The Jr. Bills continued their success as they beat Parkway West 8-7. Keeping the bats alive, the Bills scored runs in the first three innings, highlighted by Dan Marklin’s two run double in the third, which made the score 4-2. Plagued by an injury to shortstop Christian Stark, sophomore Pat Roy moved from centerfield to replace him. In the fourth inning, pitcher Jeff Brand ran into trouble, in which Parkway West’s bats came alive and scored five runs. The Jr. Bills were unable to find an answer until the top of the 7th. Freshman Griffin Lowry got the rally started with a lead-off triple. After three consecutive hits and a throwing error, the Jr. Bills found themselves with the go ahead run in scoring position at second base. Then freshman Robby Bertucci hit a slow roller to the right side of the infield, scoring Alex Goedeker from third easily. The runner on second base, Joe Schwarz, “being his own coach,� decided to make a full-out sprint to home, beating the throw. Pitcher Alex Goedeker made things interesting in the bottom of the 7th, but was able to get out of the jam and secure the victory.
Jr. Bills Bounce Back with Slugfest over Vianney, improve to 2-1 in MCC Standings
It didn’t take long for the Jr. Bills to turn things around on Monday as they crushed Vianney 12-2. The team started the day with a phenomenal pregame warmup, carrying them over into the battle with the Griffins. Contributions came from everyone on the offensive side with each player getting at least one hit and scoring at least one run. On the mound, Joe Schwarz had a dominating performance, giving up 5 hits and getting 4 strikeouts, all of which were looking. Unfortunately, Joe was unable to get the complete game due to a high pitch count, so sophomore Brian Kinealy came in to close it out. Coach Scott Gilbert said after the game, “It was one of the best games I have ever seen." This undoubtedly got the Bills back on track as they will attempt to keep this up as they face Parkway West tomorrow at 4:30.
Crushing Defeat
The Jr. Bills felt deflated after the 6-5 loss to Mehlville. The team came out flat and was not able to make up for it in the later innings. Mehlville’s two 3-run innings were what hurt the Jr. Bills’ chances of making another comeback like they did against Chaminade. However, it almost seemed like they were going to make a comeback when freshman Robby Bertucci led off the top of the 7th with a double, but was unable to be driven in to score the tying run. This disheartening loss gives the Jr. Bills a 3-2 record going into a tough week against Vianney and Parkway West.
Jr. Bills brave the elements, rally past Red Devils
The Jr. Bills started their fourth game of the season on a good note with a marvelous over the shoulder sliding catch by second baseman Ryan McReynolds, but then the wheels came off as pitcher Brian Kinealy gave up four runs in the first inning. Joe Schwarz came in to relieve Brian with two outs and not only saved the inning for the Jr. Bills, but the game as well. Jeff Brand and Ryan McReynolds led the team in hitting with three RBI’s each. The game ended just as it started, with a spectacular defensive play, this time by third baseman Stephen Clark, who made a superb off-balance throw to get the runner at first. The game was called after the fifth inning due to rain. This proved to be a true test for the Jr. Bills who were able to battle back and beat Chaminade 9-7 in the rain.
Jr. Bills fall 13-3
The cold weather cooled down the Jr. Bills' hot bats on Thursday. DeSmet's 10 hits sank the Jr. Bills 13-3. SLUH had hits from Patrick Roy, Griffin Lowry, and Joe Schwarz. This loss makes the Jr. Bills' record 2-1.
Cruisin' Past Cleveland
The Jr. Bills steamrolled to a 17-0 victory against visiting Cleveland. Sophomore Joe Schwarz sparkled on the mound today, hurling 5 innings of 1-hit baseball with 9 strikeouts. With the Jr. Bills shuffling the lineup, contributions were coming from everywhere. Freshman Griffin Lowry continued his personal vendetta against the baseball with a laser over the centerfielder's head and cruised into home on a throwing error. Sophomore Stephen Clark had a great day defensively as well as going 3 for 4 and scoring one run. The Jr. Bills are 2-0, looking very promising, and are excited about the upcoming battle against rival DeSmet on April 5th.
Opening Day Victory
The team started the season with a thrilling 8-7 victory at Belleville West. Sophomore Ben Kraemer pitched a stellar three hitter in his five and two-thirds innings of work. Freshman Andrew Ostapowicz came in for relief of Kraemer and pitched his way out of a jam. Another freshman, Alex Goedeker, took the mound for the remainder of the game and forced a Belleville West hitter to ground into a nicely turned double play in the final inning. Freshman Clint Wobbe started out a 7 run 3rd inning with a single on a 3-2 count. In the 6th inning, freshman Griffin Lowry hit a shot into centerfield which gave him a stand up triple. He then scored the game winning run on Sophomore Ryan McReynold's fly ball in left field that barely landed in fair territory, giving Ryan a double. Needless to say the team was ecstatic about winning their first game of the year and look forward to the game tomorrow against Cleveland.
