CINCINNATI, OH - It was another complete performance from the Xavier staff on Friday, as the Musketeers cruised to a 9-3 victory in the penultimate game of the season. Trevor Olson was the winning pitcher, going five scoreless innings as Xavier slowly built up their lead.
St. John's struck in the first inning with a quick run off starter Jonathan Kelly, but Xavier responded with three runs in the bottom of third. Grant Stephenson hit a ground-rule double, which set up Lane Flamm to score on a wild pitch, and then Jerry Huntzinger hit a sac fly to score Stephenson.
