SARATOGA SPRINGS — The undefeated Spa Catholic varsity baseball team demolished Mechanicville last Thursday 8 to 1, clinching their 25th Wasaren League championship.
Pitcher Brian Selig gave up the lone run and only 5 hits in 6 innings of work, notching 8 strikeouts. At the plate, Selig smacked an RBI double. He was joined by Hunter Fales, Jason Pescetti, and Ryan Gillis, all of whom hit at least one double apiece (Fales managed to earn two).
The victory put the Saints at 12-0 in their conference and 15-0 overall on the season. Although a relatively one-sided affair, Spa Catholic had more trouble the prior day against Mechanicville, battling into extra innings to eke out a 5-4 win that kept their undefeated strike alive. In that game, Ronan Rowe went 4-6 with a double, while Fales added a triple.
Prior to that pair of contests, the Saints have been nearly unstoppable, racking up one dominant W after another (21-0 against Waterford-Halfmoon, 27-0 against Hoosic Valley, 10-0 versus Fonda-Fultonville, and 16-0 against Stillwater).
The Saints have a handful of games remaining on their calendar before the first round of the Section 2 Class C playoffs begin on May 22 at Veterans Memorial Park.
