Colton Fearday raced home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the St. Anthony Bulldogs a 3-2 victory at home Monday afternoon over Mattoon.

Fearday started the game-winning rally with a one-out double. After Eli Moore walked, both runners moved up a base after a double steal. Then on the second pitch to Will Hoene, the Mattoon pitcher uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Fearday to scamper home for the walk-off win.

It ended what was a close game throughout.

The Bulldogs broke out to a 2-0 lead in the second. Eli Moore led off with a home run. Brody Niebrugge and Hoene then delivered base hits, followed by two straight walks. The second was to Logan Antrim and forced in a run.

Mattoon scored single tallies in the third and sixth.

Fearday also got the pitching win. Seth Hotze started and went the first 5.1 innings, giving up four hits and two runs. He walked two and struck out three. Fearday relieved in the sixth and pitched the final 3.2 innings. He allowed just one hit, while walking two and striking out eight.

The Bulldogs stayed undefeated, improving to 9-0. They are scheduled to play today (Tuesday) at Newton and then return home to face Olney on Saturday.
