Meanwhile, Hersey put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their undefeated season alive. They walked away with a 4-1 win over Loyola Academy. Those four runs were actually the fewest the Huskies have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.

It's a different story for Hersey, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Maine West continue to outrun the ball?
