Brody Hatton and Beau Adams went deep Wednesday, helping the St. Anthony Bulldogs open postseason play in successful fashion, posting a 6-1 victory over Marshall in a semifinal game of the Marshall Class 2A Regional.

Hatton helped the Bulldogs jump on top early. After walks to Aiden Lauritzen and Connor Roepke, Hatton launched a 3-2 pitch over the leftfield fence to stake SAHS to a 3-0 lead in the opening inning.

Marshall scored its lone run in the second and St. Anthony then added three more tallies in the third.

Adams led off with a home run. Lauritzen then singled and Brock Fearday walked. Roepke followed with an RBI single and Will Fearday brought home the final run with a ground out.

Lauritzen turned in a strong six-inning performance to get the win. He allowed seven hits and one run. He walked two and struck out 12, while throwing 111 pitches. Brock Fearday pitched the seventh.

The Bulldogs improved to 21-5 on the season. They will now face either Newton or Lawrenceville for the regional championship. That game is set for 11 a.m. Saturday.
