St. Clair Men’s Baseball Best Fanshawe Twice

Tecumseh, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Baseball team outlasted Fanshawe College (London) Thursday night in the opener of a doubleheader but then capped the night with a shutout for the evening sweep.  The Saints collected wins of 3-2 and 8-0 to move their OCAA undefeated record to 12-0 on the season. 

St. Clair moved ahead 2-0 in the 2^nd inning of game one after Joshua Hudvagner (Essex, ON/Essex) plated a pair of runs on a double.  Fanshawe responded with two runs in the 3^rd inning and the teams played scoreless until the final frame.  Hudvagner doubled to start the 7^th inning and the Saints loaded the bases for Jordan Miller (Kitchener, ON) who singled which brought home the walk-off run.  St. Clair starter Brock Whitson (Chatham, ON) earned his 4^th win of the season going the distance and surrendered only two runs on two hits and a walk but struck out seven Fanshawe batters.  Henry Real (Panama City, Panama) and Tyler Brown-Amlin (Windsor, ON/Sandwich) each also had two singles for St. Clair in the game. 

In game two the Saints did all the damage early scoring three runs in the 1^st inning followed by a single in the 2^nd and four more in the 3^rd which completed the scoring.  St. Clair starter Brady Knelsen (Leamington, ON/Leamington) was stellar again only giving up three hits and two walks over six innings of work while striking out seven to secure his 4^th victory of the season.  Miller had two more hits including a double and drove in three runs for the Saints.  St. Clair's Rowan Glasgow (LaSalle, ON/Sandwich) also hit safely twice including a triple to go with a walk that allowed him to score a pair of runs and added an RBI. 

The Saints will take the weekend off before returning to league play October 4^th when they travel to Sarnia to take on Lambton College who will play host to the OCAA Provincial Championship tournament Oct. 17-19.
