FRIARS Season Comes to a Close
With a 1-0 lead and Kellenberg sending up the bottom of the order, the FRIARS were optimistic going into the top of the seventh. Unfortunately a couple of walks and errors later the FRIARS found themselves down 3-1. The FRIARS went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the seventh and with the third out went their championship hopes.
Coach Newman's goal at the beginning of the year was to turn the program around and this year's team took the first step into making the FRIARS a championship team. Last year the team was 7-11 in league play. The FRIARS ended the regular season 11-7 in NSCHSAA games. Coach Newman and the rest of the staff look forward to next season with a talented class of juniors returning and current J.V. players who will make the jump to the varsity level next year.
Good luck seniors!

St. Mary's added a run in the fourth and fifth inning trying to close the gap but the FRIARS stopped any hope of a comeback with a six run fifth inning powered by Barnathan's second home run of the day and the first grand slam of his varsity career. Matt finished the day with six RBIs. Pat Adams added to the fifth inning rally with a two RBI double into centerfield.
