How It Happened
Franciscan baseball made the trip to Thiel on Saturday afternoon for a conference doubleheader against the Tomcats. The hosts would jump out to an early 4-0 lead thanks to a crooked number in the second inning. The Barons racked up eight hits on the day, but would leave nine on base, as they would not be able to reach home plate in game one. The Tomcats would tack on some insurance runs late to win by a score of 9-0

- Falconite, Burke, and Izzo all had two hits each

How It Happened
Game two the Barons flipped the script, as they would put up a crooked number in the second inning to take an early lead. Falconite drove in Stoehr, before Sacavnicky knocked in Ferrance. To make it 3-0,
Brendan Burke ripped a double to center to bring Scavnicky home. The Barons' offense was not done, as Ferrnace would drive in Izzo in the third to set the score at 4-0.
Izzo would have his A game on the mound as well. The senior pitched into the seventh inning with just one earned run to earn his second win of the season. It would be a three run game heading into the ninth, and the Barons would add some insurance.
Falconite doubled in Ferrnace to expand the lead to 5-1. Scavnicky continues his stellar day with a 2-RBI single to the opposite field to score Hall and Falconite.
Charlie Sabol would grab the last RBI to give us our final score of 8-1.
At the Plate
