Meanwhile, St. Edward fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Strongsville on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Mustangs. The Eagles' defeat signaled the end of their five-game winning streak.
St. Edward also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and he was also dialed-in: Langston Lucas gave up only one earned run on three hits. Lucas is becoming a predictor of the Eagles' success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 3-1 (and 9-10 when he doesn't).
