Seward waltzed into their contest on Monday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They were the clear victors by an 11-5 margin over the Pius X Thunderbolts. The Bluejays have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Thunderbolts, too.
Brycen Burt spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered five earned runs on nine hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Kyle Riley, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with one home run and two runs. That home run was his first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Keyan Schadwinkel, who went 3-for-5 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
Seward kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in three consecutive matchups.
