Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Rita). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Curie Condors a 19-0 shutout on Thursday. The win was familiar territory for the Mustangs, who have now won three games in a row.
Sullivan Kazee made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because St. Rita is 3-1 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 4-9 otherwise. Kazee was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and one run. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Nick Cegielski looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.
