From Staff Reports
St. Francis is starting to dig itself a pretty deep hole when it comes to a playoff berth.
After a 3-1 start to Mission League play, the Golden Knights have lost four consecutive games.
One night after dropping a 6-1 decision to Harvard-Westlake, the Golden Knights fell again, Tuesday, 8-0, at the Glendale Sports Complex.
Senior Brandon Lewis had the only two hits of the game for St. Francis.
Hayden Byrnes went 3 1/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits. He walked four and struck out one batter.
Ryan DeVore allowed three runs over two innings on two hits and three walks.
Aaron Treloar surrendered one run over 1 2/3 innings, on two hits.
Treloar didn’t walk anyone and struck out four.
Over the four-game losing streak St. Francis finds itself in, the Golden Knights have just one run.
They have been outscored 24-1 to Chaminade and Harvard-Westlake.
The Golden Knights and Wolverines will finish their three-game series on Thursday at Harvard-Westlake at 3:30
Quotable:
St. Francis coach Aaron Dorlarque: “Our pitching kept us in the game the first four (league) games, but hasn’t been up to Mission League standards the past four games. We will need to step it up on the mound if we are going to compete at this level. There is plenty of season left to make a good run and we are going to continue to look toward the future.”
