Kole Olszewski’s two-run single highlighted a 15-run second-inning outburst as Bishop Canevin waltzed to a 19-0 victory over Monessen Wednesday in the first game of a WPIAL Class 1A Section 3 baseball matchup.
The Crusaders finished the sweep by pounding the Greyhounds by the same 19-0 score in the nightcap, as Layne Gerba held Monessen hitless in the four-inning contest.
In the opener, Olszewski finished with three hits and three RBIs while Kellen Andruscik added three hits, scored three times and drove in a run.
Brady Wagner also had a big day, driving in five runs, scoring three times and collecting a pair of hits, one of which was a triple. Jamin Brock had two hits, scored twice and drove in three runs in the win.
Tyler Maddix went the first two innings and struck out five while yielding only a walk to pick up the win. The game went only three innings due to the mercy rule.
The Crusaders, now 4-2, continued to rake in the second game, piling up 17 hits in the win. Jackson Maddix and Nate Astore each went 4 for 4 and drove in four runs to lead the way. Andruscik had two hits and drove in three runs while Olszewski had a pair of hits, including a home run, and drove in two.
Gerba, Brock and Wagner each had a hit and an RBI in the nightcap. On the mound, Gerba struck out four and walked one in his four-inning stint.
