    Pitching carried the Sacred Heart Indians to two TAPPS District 5 Division 4 victories last week.

    The Cardinals loaded the bases in the sixth inning with one out before the Indians turned a 6-4-3 double play to get out of the inning.

    Shanks, a freshman, struck out six, walked two and hit a batter.

    The Indians scored two runs in the first on two hits and an error which would have ended the inning. Layne Sevcik and Bowen Hawkins produced RBI singles.

    The Indians made it 5-0 with a three-run second inning.

    Hudson Kutac walked and Bralen Heger singled. One run scored on a wild pitch and the other two on run-scoring singles by Ty Noska and Layne Sevcik.

    The final run scored in the fifth inning on a single by Emerson Harvey which scored Trent Sevcik, who also singled.

    Layne Sevcik had three of the Indians’ nine hits and two runs batted in.

    The Indians are 10-6 overall and stand atop the district standings with a 4-0 ledger.
