Boys
George Crimmins, Mankato Loyola baseball
Crimmins wasted little time making an impact for the Crusaders. During the 7-2 win over Cleveland on March 31, he made an impact both with his bat and his arm.
From the plate he ripped a two-run single in the third inning. From the mound he earned the win, allowing three hits and two walks with three strikeouts across five shutout innings.
GIRLS
Payton Blount, St. Clair/Mankato Loyola softball
The Spartans’ season officially started last week with an 8-4 win over Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton on March 30. It was a game where Blount popped off.
She finished the game 3 for 4 with a double. She also scored three times and drove in three runs in the season-opening victory.
