The Bulldogs added single tallies in the bottom of the second and third to put St. Anthony up 4-0 heading into the fourth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s when the tide turned toward Father McGivney as they scored a run in the fourth and two in the fifth pulling within one run. Both teams were scoreless in the sixth inning, leaving St. Anthony with a slim 4-3 edge going into the seventh inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Griffin\u2019s got a two run home run to take the lead and added another to put up three in the top of the seventh. St. Anthony couldn\u2019t push a run across in the bottom of the inning and fell to Father McGivney 6-4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brock Fearday pitched the first five and two-thirds for the Bulldogs. He walked one, allowed three runs, two earned, seven hits, and struck out four. Aiden Lauritzen pitched two thirds of an inning taking the loss on the mound allowing three runs on three hits, a walk with a strikeout. Xander Beals also tossed two thirds of an inning allowing a hit, two walks, but no runs while recording a strikeout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">St. Anthony did have 10 hits on the day. Along with Brock Fearday\u2019s home run, Henry Brent singled and had a solo home run. Alex Mayer had two hits including a double on the day. Vincent Vogel singled and had an RBI. Will Fearday had two hits along with singles for Brady Hatton and Aiden Lauritzen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Father McGivney is now 27-2, while St. Anthony falls to 15-6 on the spring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seth Jones blasted a three run homerun in the top of the fifth inning and South Central\u2019s pitching and defense made it hold up for a 3-1 victory over Newton Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Cougars only picked up two other singles, one for Callaway Smith and another for Evan Hoover.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chase Guerrettaz pitched the win throwing 75 pitches, 53 strikes, going all seven innings. He allowed one unearned run after the only South Central error of the game in the fourth inning. Guerrettaz allowed seven hits, but no walks and struck out two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Newton got seven strong innings from Logan Ochs in the loss. He allowed three runs, all earned, walked one, struck out four, and gave up just three hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Newton\u2019s offense was led by Gavin Meinhart who had two hits and an RBI. Quincy Fulton and David Ferguson each doubled.\u00a0 Reed Tharp, Maddox Horner, and Dexter Fulton all singled for the Eagles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">South Central is now 9-10 on the season while Newton falls to 13-10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cumberland defeated Cerro Gordo\/Bement 9-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maddox Miller went six and a third allowing one run on one hit. He walked six but struck out nine to earn the win.\u00a0 Grady Jones finished out the game striking out one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Isaac Venatta got two hits with two RBI. Wyatt Watkins and Evan Davis had a hit and two RBI each. Maddox Miller also had a single, while Kade McMechan also knocked in a run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pirates are now 9-10 while the Broncos are 4-13.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Christ Our Rock Lutheran broke a 2-2 tie scoring two in the top of the sixth for a 4-2 victory over Brownstown\/St. Elmo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Corey Hoopingarner\u00a0took the loss despite\u00a0 throwing seven solid innings allowing four runs on eight hits, walking four, while striking out seven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the plate Keelan Speaglewas\u00a0 2 for 4 with 2 RBI. Dodge Willms, Zayden Gillespie, and Lane Stine\u00a0were all 1 for 3 on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bombers are now 6-13.
