Cretin-Derham hall took advantage of four Benilde-St. Margaret's errors during the course of the fifth and sixth innings, leading to eight runs in the third-ranked Raiders' 10-1 win over the 12th-ranked Red Knights.

Brett Huebner got the visitors on the scoreboard in the first inning when he launched a one-out, two-run home run to left field.

After that, pitchers Mikey McGill, Jimmy Cron and Connor Day would combined to retire 11 of the next 14 batters to keep BSM within reach through four innings.

In the bottom of the fourth, the hosts cut the lead in half when, with one out, Michael Kaminski lifted a towering solo home run to left field. The run came off reliever Hayden Olson but he, Joe Dekker and Rob Rice would allow just two more hits and no base runners would reach second base after that point.

Meanwhile, back-to-back, two-out throwing errors in the fifth inning by the Red Knights would lead to a pair of unearned runs, giving the Raiders a 4-1 lead.

CDH put the game out or reach in the sixth when it got three hits, three walks and took advantage of two more BSM errors to put six runs on the scoreboard.

Both teams used the game as a tuneup for their respective section playoffs, beginning later this week, by using all of their available players.

Fourteen of the Red Knights' 18 players came to the plate in the game and six different pitchers worked on the mound.

Chris Landis recorded two of BSM's five hits to lead the team offensively. Cron and Day, who combined to work the third and fourth innings in just 22 pitches, allowed just one hit and no runs.
