Kroeger Pitches Maryville Past Drury in First Game of Saturday’s Split

ST. LOUIS – Jacob Kroeger tossed a one-hit shutout to earn a 6-0 win in game one on Saturday, but the Saints split the doubleheader with the Panthers after a 7-2 loss in game two. 
  
Drury Game One Recap
Saints starting pitcher Jacob Kroeger got off to a fast start, hanging three straight zeros in the first three frames. Michael Gould backed his strong start with an RBI single to center field to bring home Dominic Connolly.

Still leading 1-0, designated hitter Joey Polak connected on an opposite-field home run to lead off the bottom of the fifth. Later in the inning, Alex Hoff ripped a two-run home run to left field to extend the lead to 4-0. 

Kroeger hurled another scoreless frame in the top of the sixth after allowing a leadoff base runner and got even more insurance in the bottom half. With Brad Willis in scoring position, Polak picked up another RBI with a double to right-center. Elias Stevens brought him home in the next at-bat to push the lead to six runs.

With the 4-5-6 hitters due up in the top of the seventh, Kroeger again made quick work of the Panthers, getting a pop out, a strikeout, and a groundout to short to earn his second win of the campaign.
