It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lourdes had no problem doing just that on Monday. They walked away with a 6-3 win over the La Crescent Lancers. This was a revenge game for the Eagles: when they faced off against the Lancers back in April, they had to take a 5-1 defeat.
Easton Gasner made a splash no matter where he played. He pitched seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits. Gasner was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
In other batting news, Lourdes let Owen Streefland and Jack Roe run wild. Streefland got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one triple, one run, and one RBI, while Roe went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That triple was Streefland's first of the season.
Lourdes is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.6 runs over those games. As for La Crescent, their loss was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 16-5.
Coming up, Lourdes will challenge Cannon Falls at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bombers' pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so the Eagles' hitters will have their work cut out for them. La Crescent does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
