Men’s Baseball Drop Durham in Oshawa

Oshawa, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Baseball team won two games via mercy Saturday afternoon over Durham College in Oshawa at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium by scores of 14-1 and 10-0.  The Saints are now 8-0 in OCAA league play and alone in 1^st Place.

Rain in the Oshawa area delayed the start of the doubleheader about 30 minutes, but St. Clair was not fazed scoring six quick runs in the 1^st inning of game one.  After the teams started the 2^nd inning rain poured down again forcing another 15-minute delay.  Once play resumed the Saints continued to pass through the turnstiles adding five runs for firm control.  Durham got on the board in the 4^th with a single run, but St. Clair tacked on three runs in the 5^th to secure the mercy differential after holding the Lords scoreless in the bottom half.  Rowan Glasgow (LaSalle, ON/Sandwich) was 3-for-3 with a walk for the Saints adding 2 runs scored and 2 RBI.  Brock Whitson (Chatham, ON) threw five innings giving up a run on just two hits and struck out 8 batters for his 3^rd win of the season. 

St. Clair starter Brady Knelsen (Leamington, ON/Leamington) threw a 5-inning shutout in game two for St. Clair who posted his 3^rd win of the season giving up 4 hits while striking out six.  The Saints scored two runs in the 2^nd and 4^th inning on either side of a 5-run 3^rd before adding a single in the 5^th to complete the scoring.  Kanaan Gale (Leamington, ON/Cardinal Carter) had two hits and two RBI in the St. Clair win.
