In Monday’s other game, Riley King scattered five hits and struck out nine over six innings as Feildians shaded Holy Cross Trinity Pub 2-1 in a game shortened by an inning by curfew.
Holy Cross starter Ron French (3IP, 3H, 4W, 1K) took the loss, allowing both Feildians runs, one of them unearned. Justin Crawley (2IP, 2H, 2K) finished up for the Crusaders.
