The John Bapst Crusaders ended their season with a "BANG" on Saturday by sweeping the Caribou Vikings in 2 mercy rule games, 21-3 and 10-0.
Balls were flying out of the park in game one as Chris Hammond had 2 home runs, Bill Wetherbee- 1 round-tripper, and Keith Nelson launched a 'bomb' over the RF fence for a 3 run home run. The game ended in the 5th with Bapst on top, 23-1
Jason McBurnie was the winning pitcher going 3 innings. Nick Christie and Ryan Carr both pitched a scoreless 4th and 5th inning respectively.

In game 2, Matt Storgaard didn't allow a run in his 5-inning stint while giving up just 4 hits and striking out 2 to clinch the sweep.
The ball stayed in the park in game 2 but Bapst added 13 more hits to go with their 10 runs.

The boys end the season strong with a very good 10-6 record, and according to tonight's Heal Points move into 5th place. However; there are many teams yet to complete their seasons, and the standings show place #'s 4-10 to be fairly close. If JB finishes #7-10, they'll play a preliminary game on June 8...time and place TBA. If they finish 6th or better, they'll play a quarter final game on June 10th...time and place TBA.
There will be NO varsity practice on Monday, Memorial Day as previously planned. Enjoy the day with your families and study for finals!

JV's wrap up their season, I believe, on Thursday. Players should bring a change of clothes to the last game to change into so that uniforms can be collected.
