St. Peter’s Prep 7 Westfield 5 | Thank You Classic

The Marauders jumped out to an early lead and never looked back as their impressive win streak continues. Six different players produced RBI’s as St. Peter’s Prep (11-5) won its seventh consecutive game. The Marauders led Westfield (7-6-1) by six runs in the seventh inning, but the Blue Devils put together a rally that would ultimately fall short.
