St. Bede was not the first on the board on Monday, but they got there more often. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-5 victory over the Roanoke-Benson/Lowpoint-Washburn Rockets. For the Bruins, this counts as revenge for the 4-1 win the Rockets walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.

He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over 6.1 innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits.
