Gavan Wernsing lived up to his billing.

The Windsor/Stew-Stras lefthander was absolutely dominant Friday afternoon. He allowed just two hits and struck out 14 in a 100-pitch, seven-inning masterpiece and helped the host Hatchets post an 8-1 victory over St. Anthony.

Wernsing retired the first 14 batters he faced. He set the side down in order five of the seven innings and had a strikeout in each. He fanned the first three hitters he faced and five of the first six.

Eli Levitt was the Bulldogs first runner when he walked with two outs in the fifth. Both of St. Anthony’s hits came in the sixth when Eli Moore and Brody Niebrugge had back-to-back doubles to produce the team’s only run.

Windsor/Stew-Stras had plenty of offense to support Wernsing. The Hatchets banged out 13 hits and scored in each of the first four innings to take an early 7-0 lead.

The Bulldogs, now 6-4, will play three times next week – at home Tuesday against North Clay; at Woodlawn on Wednesday; and at home against Brownstown/St. Elmo on Friday.
