Matt Storgaard pitched one-hit baseball through 5 innings and Jason McBurnie came in to pitch the last 2 to lead the John Bapst Crusaders to their 8th win, 4-2 over Old Town on Saturday.
Old Town's ace Casey Estes struck out 11 JB batters on the day; but good defensive plays in the field, Storgaard's pitching performance, and some good base running were the difference. Matt went 5 innings, striking out 5.
Offensively for JB: Casey Hull-2 for 4, 3 rbi, double, & great 'D' at shortstop! Nick Pooler- 2 for 3, run scored, stolen base.
Bill Wetherbee- 1 for 2, double, sac fly, stolen base, run scored. Chase Huckstein- SF, rbi. Ryan Carr- 1 for 3, run scored, good 'D'. Adam Leadbetter- walk, run scored. Storgaard- Sac bunt. Jason McBurnie- walk, stolen base, run scored.
JB is now 8-3-1 with games vs. Bucksport on Tuesday (at Bucksport 4:30) and home (Husson) vs. Ellsworth on Thursday 4:30 (WZON radio game). Go Crusaders!
