Windsor, ON – When you're hot, you're hot and the St. Clair Men's Baseball team stayed hot this weekend with a 4 game sweep of the competition at Lacasse Park, including a magical extra innings comeback victory on Friday night against the Seneca Sting (Toronto, ON).
The Saints opened the weekend with 2 hit shutout of the Seneca Sting, defeating them 9-0. 4th year pitcher Evan Ferguson (Windsor, ON/St. Joseph's) hurled a complete game, 2 hit shutout with 4 strikeouts in the victory.

Game 2 of the Friday doubleheader was filled with fireworks. Seneca pounced on the Saints scoring at least 1 run in each of the first 4 innings to take a 6-0 lead heading into the bottom of the 4th inning, where the insanity ensued. St. Clair scored a whopping 9 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning to seemingly take control of the game with a 9-6 lead. Seneca came back to score 2 runs in the 5th inning and then tied the game in the top of the 7th at 9-9 to force extra innings. In extra innings, Seneca scored 3 times in the 8th frame to lead 12-9. St. Clair responded with an epic 4 run 8th inning to defeat Seneca 13-12 in walk off fashion. Hunter Appleyard stayed hot at the plate going 2-4 with 3 RBI and helping his team keep their winning streak alive.
On Saturday, St. Clair swept the Sheridan Bruins 15-3 and 7-0 to improve their record to 11-1 on the season as they remain tied for 1st place in the OCAA Standings. Sam McKinlay (Tilbury, ON) pitched a complete game, 3 hit shutout in game 2 on Saturday, recording 8 strikeouts to earn his 3rd win of the season.
The Saints are now carrying an 8 game winning streak as they look ahead to their Thanksgiving weekend road trip to Lambton on Friday night for a doubleheader. The Saints are hosting the OCAA Championships at Lacasse Park from October 20-22.
