ST. VINCENT, WOODLAND WIN DISTRICT GAMES

ADVANCE -- St. Vincent High's baseball team made its Class 1A, District 2 debut Monday and won in impressive fashion with a 14-0 trouncing of Bell City.

Fourth-seeded St. Vincent (11-10) moves into the semifinal round where it will face the winner between top-seeded Advance and No. 9 Scott County Central. The Advance-Scott County Central game was rained out Monday.

St. Vincent wasted little time disposing of No. 5 seed Bell City, scoring eight first-inning runs, two coming on a Dusty Wengert home run.

Wengert had a big game, going 4-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored. Cory Strattman added three hits, two RBIs and three runs and winning pitcher Trent Sauer helped his own cause with two hits and two RBIs. Adam Bockman also had two hits.

Sauer pitched four innings and surrendered just two hits. He walked three and struck out one before yielding to Tyler Wengert in the final inning.

"We jumped on them early and had a good pitching performance from Trent," said St. Vincent coach Bruce Valleroy.

2A, District 2

CHAFFEE -- No. 5 Woodland beat No. 4 Scott City 9-2 in a game that was stopped in the sixth inning by the bad weather. No other games were played.

The two remaining first-round games scheduled for Monday will be played today as Notre Dame faces Bloomfield at 3 p.m. and Chaffee plays East Prairie at 5. The remainder of the week's schedule is still up in the air.
