Riverfield Academy’s Blake Daniel hit a home run over the left field fence in the top of the fifth inning against St. Aloysius Tuesday evening.

It came four innings too late.

St. Al scored 14 runs in the first inning to rout Riverfield 23-1 at Bazinsky Field. Riverfield will have a chance to avenge its loss on Wednesday when St. Aloysius travels to Rayville, La., to close out a three-game District 3-AAA series with the Raiders. St. Al has won the first two games by a combined score of 31-1.

“After (Monday) I was a little concerned with us coming out today and if we could maintain the same intensity, we did that,” St. Al coach Sid Naron said. “The same intensity and focus was there.”

A sacrifice bunt from Casey Griffith gave the Flashes a 6-0 lead. Garrett Breithaupt hit a two-run double with the bases loaded to make it 11-0. Jake Pierce was responsible for the final three runs scored in the first inning, as he drove in two with a double and scored on a wild pitch.

“It’s a lot of quality at-bats in there. I thought there were five or six quality at-bats that led to that 14 runs,” Naron said. “Plus some big time at-bats, guys staying on some breaking balls and being able to hit them the other way was very crucial in being able to get that far.”

Naron said Monday’s game against the Raiders was the most complete game the Flashes had played all season. His concern heading into the second game of the series was about whether they would come out flat, but the leadership of the seniors was reassuring.

After the previous two games, Naron said his team will continue to have the same intensity to close out the series with a sweep.

Naron, despite the offensive production of his team on Tuesday, still has concerns about traveling to Riverfield for a 3 p.m. game.

“When you have to go on the road like that, it’s always a little concerning for me. You’re in someone else’s environment so the focus has to be at the utmost and I think we have the leadership to be able to maintain it,” Naron said.
