Ben Meinhart scored on an error in the top the eighth inning, giving the Newton Eagles a come-from-behind 3-2, eight-winning victory Saturday at St. Anthony.

St. Anthony’s Colton Fearday carried a one-hit shutout into the seventh inning. But Newton’s Isaac Flowers started the game-tying rally with a one-out triple. Then with two outs, Mason Schafer walked and Gage Reynolds came through with a two-run double that tied the game at 2-2.

The Bulldogs had a chance to win in the bottom of the seventh. They had the bases loaded with two outs, but a ground out ended that threat.

Meinhart then reached on a bunt single with one out in the top of the eighth. With two outs, a ground ball was misplayed and Meinhart was able to cross the plate with what proved to be the winning run. The Eagles improved to 21-5 on the season.

Again, SAHS had a good scoring opportunity in the bottom of the eighth. They had two runners on with just one out, but the final two batters were retired.

Fearday pitched outstanding in a losing effort. He went all eight innings and threw 106 pitches. He allowed four hits and three runs, while walking three and striking out 11.

The Bulldogs took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Connor Roepke led off with a walk and Beau Adams reached on an error. Both runners moved up a base on a passed ball, followed by a two-run single by Will Hoene.

The Bulldogs dropped to 16-6. They will next play in the annual City Series against Effingham. The three-game series will be played at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. St. Anthony will host Wednesday and Friday at Paul Smith Field and will play Thursday at Evergreen Hollow Park.
