St. Pius X was led to victory by Cayden Payne, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. St. Vincent had no answer to Payne as he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). Payne has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.
Payne and St. Pius X will be playing in front of their home fans against Farmington at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. St. Pius X will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 139 places lower in Missouri), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Payne? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
