Baseball/Santa Fe 11, Carrollton 4

Tuesday, April 29, 2008
CARROLLTON -- The third-ranked Santa Fe baseball team used the long ball Monday to crush Carrollton, 11-4.

Junior Ben Catlett hit two of the Chiefs' five home runs, a two-run shot in the fifth inning and a solo blast in the seventh. Catlett's first dinger was followed by one by sophomore Hunter Rolf which made the score 10-1.

Junior Logan Kirchhoff led off the second inning by going deep and Rolf smacked a two-run single later in the frame. After loading the bases in the fourth, the Trojans got the first out with a force out at home plate, but the celebration was short-lived since junior Taylor Wesley smashed a grand slam.

Carrollton (6-6) made some noise in the late innings. Sophomore Zach Davis went yard with nobody on base in the sixth and sophomore Ross Flick and Davis had RBI singles in the seventh.

Kirchhoff struck out nine batters in a little more than six innings of work to improve to 6-0 on the season -- leading the Chiefs' hurlers. Santa Fe (11-0) has a week off before hosting St. Paul on May 6.
