Brady McGlin played excellent defense to help preserve the win

as a seventh inning rally by St. Mary's fell short.

Darren Kepler reached base safely four times for St. Mary's

and the Gelenic boys each contributed a triple.

Richland dept his temple, one handled Bethel Lutheran 17-4.

Ira Coppernall had a home run and Dan Burt went two for three in the win.

providing the umpires. At 815, Richland dept his temple to versus the mission Church of the

Nazarene will umpire. For more information about Church League softball, visit the league's website

Five Toronto Blue J pictures, shut out the brewers on five hits Tuesday night, three nothing.

Rookie Carlos Rodriguez made his first major league start and was tagged with the loss.

Rodriguez gave up seven hits and two runs in three and two thirds innings.

Despite that, manager Pat Murphy thought the youngster played well.

He was great. You know, I'm really pleased to thought he through the ball well.

I thought he showed tremendous poise. Yeah, I was very pleased with what I saw.

22 year old kid come out there and do what he did. I'm, uh, gets a really good lineup.

I thought he handled himself very, very well. Didn't seem like a rookie at all.

Didn't seem like, you know, first time or I was encouraged.

That's where an inter league play Baltimore for nothing over Atlanta. Tampa Bay five,

the Cubs two. Washington five four over Detroit. Philadelphia beat Boston four one. Cleveland five

Cincinnati three Colorado five four over Minnesota. Houston got the win against San Francisco three one.

San Diego four and Oakland three. The Dodgers 15 Texas two. Arizona nine four over the

Angels in the American league. The Yankees 10 Kansas City one Seattle four three over the Chicago

White socks. National league Miami four two over the Mets and Pittsburgh defeated St. Louis by a score

of two to one. It is a good feeling when you convince a standout high schools prospect

to switch his commitment to your program. It's even better when that prospect in the recruiting

class of 25 changes his commitment from the arch rival Minnesota gofers offensive lineman

Torin Pettaway made that decision Tuesday. He slipped a couple of times originally saying he'd play

in Madison switching to Minnesota and now back to the badgers. Pettaway is the 17th commitment

in a recruiting class already rated in the top 15 nation wide. He's considered the number five

prospect from the state of Wisconsin. The start of mandatory minicamps. We'll see a battle at

quarterback starting to heat up backup quarterback Packers inside linebacker patch nightmare reports.

The competition between the returning QB two Sean Clifford and rookie Michael Pratt is a little

tighter Clifford through three hitterceptions during Tuesday's session. Pratt got a lot of

positive attention during organized team activities. This decision will be made during training camp

coming up next month. Malaflor talked yesterday about the team's new look defense. I think the

defense has been doing a great job. I think everybody's been dialed in. Certainly it helps

happen everybody here for for the entirety of the off season and I'm just excited to see how

we adapt throughout the course of the season. I'm Phil Ne with an update on WRCO sports.
