Grand slams are rare.
And two in one game is virtually unheard of.
But that’s exactly what happened at Paul Smith Field on Friday afternoon.
Both Brock Fearday and Beau Adams belted home runs with the sacks jammed, leading the St. Anthony Bulldogs to a 16-1, four-inning win at home over South Central.
This game was decided in the first inning. The Bulldogs combined four hits, including two home runs, six walks and two errors to light up the scoreboard for 10 runs.
Adams’ grand slam was the highlight of the inning, but Fearday got his first of two round-trippers, capping the 10-run uprising with a two-run blast over the centerfield fence.
The hosts were back at it again in the second. Max Koenig drove in one run with a base hit, Brady Hatton added an RBI double and Fearday launched another pitch over the fence, this time to right field, clearing the bases for a six-RBI game.
Aiden Lauritzen pitched 2.2 innings to get the victory. He didn’t allow a hit, walked one and struck out two. Nick Ruholl pitched the rest of the way.
The Bulldogs, who improved to 17-1, will be home again Monday, facing North Clay.
