The St. Anthony Bulldogs banged out 10 hits and scored 12 runs.
And that was just in the first inning.
The Bulldogs finished with a 17-hit attack and posted a 17-0, three-inning victory Tuesday at St. Elmo/Brownstown.
St. Anthony nearly went through the lineup twice in the opening inning, sending 16 batters to the plate. They combined 10 hits, plus one walk, a hit batter and an error to push 12 runs across the plate.
Brody Niebrugge had an RBI double and a two-run single in the inning. Will Hoene drove in a pair with a double, Colton Fearday added a two-run single and Eli Link collected two RBI with a triple. Beau Adams and Brady Hatton also drove in runs with base hits.
SAHS added a single tally in the second and closed out the scoring with a four-run third. Fearday and Niebrugge both had two-run singles in the third.
Colton Fearday went 4-for-4 in the game and finished with four RBI, while Niebrugge had three hits and drove in five. Angelo Mendella and Brock Jansen also had three hits in the game and Hoene had three RBI.
SEB had just two baserunners in the game – and both came on walks. Niebrugge and Brock Fearday combined to throw a three-inning no-hitter. Niebrugge struck out four in two innings and Brock Fearday recorded two strikeouts in his one inning of work.
The Bulldogs, now 9-3, return to action today (Wednesday) when they travel to Altamont.
