The St. Anthony Bulldogs have their sights set on repeating as state baseball champions.

They took their first step Saturday morning.

The Bulldogs combined seven hits, 10 walks, three errors and three few wild pitches to roll to a 10-0, five-inning win over Marshall in the championship game of the Class 2A Paris Regional.

St. Anthony, now 21-7 for the season, will advance to the Teutopolis Sectional.

The Bulldogs scored the only two runs they really needed in the first inning. Brady Hatton reached on an error and Brock Fearday and Henry Brent both walked to load the bases. A pair of wild pitches allowed two runners to score.

Brock Fearday and Joe Tegeler took care of the rest. Fearday didn’t allow a hit, while walking three, striking out six and throwing 64 pitches in four innings of work. Tegeler pitched the fifth and gave up Marshall’s only hit in the game.

But St. Anthony kept scoring runs.

In the second, Alex Meyer got a lead-off single, went to second on a passed ball and scored on a base hit by Vince Vogel. The Bulldogs then received four more walks in the inning – the final two to Aiden Lauritzen and Brent to force in two more runs.

Hatton collected a two-run single, while Brock Fearday added a run-scoring double and Lauritzen capped the four-run third with an RBI triple to make it 9-0.

A hit batter and three more walks gave SAHS its final, game-ending tally in the fifth.

The Bulldogs, who captured their fourth straight regional title, will open sectional play at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday again Columbia. The Eagles, 16-13, defeated Roxana 3-0 to win the Roxana Regional.
