Alguire also picked up the win in the circle striking out five in four innings of work.  White finished the game out throwing the final two frames, striking out two.

“We are in a good place right now.  We wanted to get back to the finals and that is where we are at.  Its always a good atmosphere at SLU and I really hope we can get a big crowd out to watch on Saturday.  As far as todays game, we hit a couple homeruns out of the yard.  That used to be something that didn’t happen very often but now I am surprised if we don’t hit one.   On another note congrats to the Canton Baseball team who also reached the Finals by beating Gouverneur today.  That group of boys has had a nice year.  They will also be playing at St. Lawrence on Saturday.  Great day to be a Bear!”  From Coach Mike Wentworth
