St.
Paul’s finally broke out of its hitting slump, yesterday, and
unfortunately the Cavaliers of Archbishop Spalding were on the
receiving end of a 20-3 MIAA A Conference baseball thumping at the
hands of the visiting Crusaders.
Jack Carey led the assault with
a career day by going 4-for-5 with two doubles and two home runs,
including a grand slam and nine RBI. Mike Moss and Jack Carey also
homered.
The Crusaders homered in each of the first three
innings, including Carey’s grand slam in a six-run third which gave St.
Paul’s a 10-0 lead. Spalding tried to comeback with two in the bottom
of the third, as Joe McHale slashed a two-run single, but St. Paul’s
came right back with six in the fourth and closed with four in the
fifth.
Louey Mari went the distance for the win, allowing just seven hits.
St.
Paul’s (12-6 overall) kept pace with Loyola, which defeated John
Carroll yesterday, and the two remained tied for second-place in the A
Conference. Spalding (20-6 overall) dropped to 7-5 in the league and
is now in fourth-place.
