After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Mondovi, St. Croix Central was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Osceola Chieftains with a sharp 8-2 victory. The win continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Chieftains: they've now won six in a row.
Eli Babler was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 12 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits (and only one walk). Babler was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Everett Babler, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one double and one RBI. That double marked the first that he hit this season. Another player making a difference was Heath Kent, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
St. Croix Central's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Osceola, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-5.
St. Croix Central will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Chieftains: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
