While St. Bernard put up some runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Etna. The Crusaders were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Lions. The Crusaders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matchups by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Luke Brunton, who gave up just a hit to keep Etna off the board.
On the hitting side, Mason Noel was a standout: he went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two doubles. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Tyler Hinrichs, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four stolen bases and two runs.
St. Bernard's always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .516. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Etna only posted an OBP of .100.
