Gaels edge St Mary's as Roark walks force run
Roark issued his third walk in the seventh inning to force in St Mary’s pitcher John Gross from third for the deciding run in a 5 4 high school baseball win by Coach Mike Sokol’s Gaels at Memorial Field. Bennett sparked with a two run double in the second as St Mary’s answered and later tied the game at 4 4 before Gross started the seventh with a double and Roark’s walk parade produced the winning run. The Gaels improved to 3 in season play and kept the Carl Erskine Trophy for now.
