Saint John's 7, UW-Superior 3 | Saint John's 8, UW-Superior 0

TUCSON, Ariz. (March 18, 2018) – Superior played their first double-header of their Spring Break trip, and were unable to get a win against a tough Saint John's team.

Game 1

Superior got on the board in the bottom of the second after a Matt Boyde lead-off triple was driven in by a Stephen Albertson (Stillwater, Minn/Stillwater) sacrifice to short stop, going up 1-0 on the Johnnies. Saint John's then put up five in the following half inning to take the lead.

The Yellowjackets' next two runs came in the fourth inning when Nick McNosky (Minneapolis, Minn./DeLaSalle), S. Albertson, and Ryan Castaneda (San Pedro, Calif./Junipero Serra) all singled, loading the bases.  A fielder's choice brought McNosky home, and S. Albertson advanced home on throwing error to second base. Two runners were left on base, making it a 5-3 game.

The Johnnies would add two more runs to put the game out of reach in the top of the sixth, and a Yellowjacket comeback was put to rest in the seventh inning.

Game 2

Superior's bats put together seven hits in the second game, but were unable to find home plate due to good defense from the Johnnies.

Saint John's would put together eight runs for an 8-0 shutout.

Up Next

Superior will play another double-header tomorrow morning, facing the Beuna Vista Beavers at 10 a.m.
