IMMACULATA EAGLES
EAGLES HEAD TO TITLE GAME
Baseball defeated TFS yesterday 3-1 and will be headed to the championship game! It was a total team effort, picking each other up when needed, and stepping up when called upon, Shane Fitzsimmons pitched a complete 7 inning game and gave up zero earned runs! He was supported by stellar defense all game long from all positions.
Owen Weitz was the offensive leader (double, single, 2 Runs, 2 stolen bases) came through with a monstrous double to score a run, Teddy Howell brought in another run with a sacrifice fly ball to left in the 4th inning and Reese Howell had an RBI in the bottom of the 6th inning.
The team was patient and never wavered when mistakes were made, job well done Eagles!
