The St. Anthony Bulldogs are still unbeaten, but it took a late-inning rally to stay that way.
The Bulldogs combined five hits, two walks and an error to score seven times in the sixth inning Saturday to come away with an 8-2 win at Charleston.
The host Trojans held a slim 2-1 edge when St. Anthony came to bat in the top of the sixth. Henry Brent both started and capped the rally. He had a lead-off single, but things didn’t really get going until there were two outs. Brock Fearday singled and Connor Roepke walked to load the bases.
Brady Hatton put the Bulldogs on top with a two-run single. After Sam Link got a base hit to load the bases again, two runs scored on an error and another on a double steal. Max Koenig then walked and Brent delivered a two-run double.
Joseph Tegeler pitched five strong innings to get the win. He allowed four hits and two unearned runs, while walking two and striking out five. Nick Ruholl and Link then turned in a pair of scoreless innings to secure the victory.
The Bulldogs improved to 8-0 on the season. They will return home Monday to face Mahomet-Seymour.
