The St. Patrick Saints snapped a 13-game losing streak and avenged a 30-1 loss to Augusta with a 6-5 win over the Panthers tonight in the semifinals of the 39th District baseball tournament at Augusta. The Saints scored five runs in the third inning to lead 6-2. Augusta scored three runs in the top seventh inning and had a runner on third with one out. But Stephen Mason got back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. It is St. Patrick's first win since a 14-5 victory over Silver Grove in their season opener on March 27.
The Mason County Royals used a seven-run third inning to beat the Bracken County Polar Bears 13-5 in the first game. Mason County led 13-0 in the middle of the fourth inning. Lee Sutton pitched a complete game and struck out 10 batters.
St. Patrick (2-13) and Mason County (13-15) meet in the championship game Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Augusta.
