ELROSA SAINTS

  (PVB is ready for BVD!)

ELROSA--Payton VanBeck threw 8 scoreless innings and Will VanBeck threw a scoreless ninth inning to secure a 2-0 shuout over SCL South leading St. Martin on Friday night in Elrosa. St. Martin led off the game with a hit but that would be all they would get over the remainder of the game as VanBeck struck out 11 and walked three in a great performance. Will struck out all three batters he faced to earn the save. Offensively, Jackson Peter drilled an RBI double and Derek Weiner smashed a home run to aid the orange. Kevin Kuefler and Will VanBeck each collected two hits to pace the offense.

Will VanBeck closed the game once again in the 9th inning with 2 strikeouts. Kevin Kuefler ripped an RBI single in the 5th inning for the Saints only run. Gavin Kampsen had a nice day at the plate with two singles. With the win, the Saints and Streaks are now tied for 1st place in the SCL North.
