Valle Catholic Uses Defense And Late-Game Offense To Take Down Rivals Ste. Genevieve On KREI

(Ste. Genevieve) Valle Catholic’s defense and late-inning offense propelled the Warriors to a 3-0 shutout of their rivals Ste. Genevieve Thursday on KREI. Maybe the biggest defensive play came in the bottom of the third…

Valle broke the stalemate in the 6th with and RBI groundout from junior Jackson Fowler. The Warriors continued to add to their total in the 7th…

Valle sophomore Grant Fallert got the ball and went 6 2/3 innings while giving up just three hits. Viox was the Applebee’s of Farmington Player of the Game going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a couple stellar defensive plays at first base. Warriors coach Nate Gegg says the sophomore is a grinder.

Ste. Gen starter Aiden Boyer struck out six and worked out of two big jams in 5 2/3 innings pitched and went 1-for-2 at the plate.

Valle improves to 19-6 and is set to face Jefferson on Friday. Ste. Gen drops to 11-6 and will take on St. Pius Friday afternoon. That game will be broadcast on AM 800 KREI and AM 1400 KJFF starting at 3:45.
