FALCON BASEBALL
Falcons pitch, hit and rout Bulldogs 10-1!
Senior Corey Roubique strikes out seven to pace win and offense delivers eight hits.
HAMMOND—The Saint Thomas Falcons collected eight hits including
three extra base hits and got a complete game, seven strike out performance
from Corey Roubique to hand the visiting Ascension Catholic Bulldogs a
10-1 defeat in summer baseball action Thursday at Falcon Park.
“We hit the ball real well,” said Saint Thomas head
coach BJ Corr. “We got to play a different line up with some guys out and
the young guys did a great job for us. I am pleased with the progress
we are making.”
After a quiet first inning in which the Bulldogs
plated a run on a walk and an RBI double and the Falcons went down in
order, Saint Thomas answered in kind sending the Ascension Catholic
Bulldogs down in order and scoring a run. Timothy Johns led off
with a single followed by a sacrifice bunt by Hank Perrilloux.
Cameron Loria was next sending Johns home with a single.
In the third, the Falcons dismissed the Bulldogs
in order again and plated three runs in the bottom half. Tyler Bradley
worked the count for a lead-off walk and Ross Pellichino used his speed
to turn a bunt into a single. Logan Pisciotta reached on an error setting
up Bradley to score on a throwing error. Lane Kropog followed hitting
a ground out to first that scored Pellichino, and Pisciotta finished the
scoring making it home on a passed ball.
Saint Thomas again sent the Bulldogs down in order
in the top of four and added a run in the bottom half as Jonah Mollere out
ran a grounder for a single and reached second on a passed ball. Ben
Bruhl was next earning a walk that was followed by another passed ball
that sent the two Falcon base-runners to second and third and Mollere
then reached home on a throwing error.
The Bulldogs managed one single in the top of
the fifth but sent only four to the plate. The Falcons padded their lead
by three in the bottom of the inning as Taylor Bradley got a lead-off
walk and scored on a double by Johns. Loria followed with a sacrifice
fly ball that sent Johns to third and Mollere was hit by a pitch.
Bruhl followed with the big stick smacking a double to score Loria
and Mollere.
Ascension Catholic made some noise in the top of
the six collecting a pair of singles but stranded both sending only
five to the plate before the side was retired. Saint Thomas scored
two more in the bottom half using a lead-off single by Pellichino
and a double by Pisciotta to plate the first run. After a pop-up
and a ground out, Loria reached on an error sending Pisciotta home.
The Bulldogs took advantage of back-to-back
Falcon errors putting two on with one out in the top of the seventh,
but third baseman Loria put the fire out quickly catching a line
drive and throwing out and advancing runner at first to end the
game on a double play.
