DeSmet Pitching Stymies Jr. Bills
After their match against DeSmet was canceled on Monday 4/28, the Jr. Bills drove out to DeSmet to play their MCC rivals for the first time this season. However, when the first five SLUH batters struck out to begin the game, the Jr. Bills knew that they might have a tough day ahead. SLUH recorded only 4 hits and 2 runs on the day, while striking out 11 times. At pitcher, Dane Stole began the game with a shaky first inning, walking a total of 4 batters, but minimized the damage to only 2 runs. After the rough beginning, Stole settled down for the next three innings before DeSmet tagged the Jr. Bill pitcher for 4 runs. SLUH tried to rally in the top of the 7th, loading the bases, before a groundout to third ended the game. DeSmet won the game 6-2, dropping SLUH's conference play record to 1-3. The Jr. Bills look to shake off the loss in their next matchup against Chaminade at SLUH on Thursday, 5/1.
