Week in Review

Pacelli

Baseball: The Cardinals defeated Shiocton Tuesday, May 8, 8-3, bringing their season record to 11-5 overall and 9-5 in the Central Wisconsin Conference Large Division.

The Cardinals lost a 7-2 lead and dropped an 8-7 decision to Marion on Monday May 7, when Marion scored on two singles, a walk and a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh.

Chris Jacobson had three hits and Adam Brazzale, Ahern Cashin and Jake Owens each added two for the Cardinals. Reliever Ben Disher took the mound loss.

"After we scored the seven runs, we coasted a little," Pacelli coach Wayne Sankey said. "We need to develop the killer instinct to put teams away in the later innings. We did make good contact at the plate and we are having other guys start to contribute offensively," he said. "We are leaving way too many runners on base."

The Cardinals defeated Menominee Indian, 12-2, on Saturday, May 4, as Owens tossed a two-hitter and both runs were unearned, scoring on errors with two outs.

"Jake was focused and threw strikes," Sankey said. "When he uses all of his pitches, he is tough to hit."

Brad Heeg and Jeff Herzog led the Cardinals with two hits each, including a double for each.

Golf: The Cardinals finished third in a triangular at Glacier Wood Golf Course in Iola Friday, May 4. The Cardinals had 181 to trail Amherst with 146 and Wittenberg with 173. Alex Riorden lead Pacelli with a 42.

Softball: The Hornets dropped an 11-9 decision to Wittenberg-Birnamwood Tuesday.

Golf: The Amherst golf team set a school record and moved to 11-0 in dual matches in beating Wittenberg and Pacelli at Glacier Wood golf course in Iola on Friday, May 4.
