St. Anthony High School's baseball season came to an end Monday in its Class 2A St. Anthony Regional opener, falling to Vandalia by a 5-0 final.

Joe Kabbes managed St. Anthony's lone hit against Vandals pitcher Richie Well, a fifth-inning single. The Northsiders' only other baserunners came via bases on balls; Greg Utz drew two, while Ethan Greene and Brandon Puckett each walked once.

Puckett took the loss, allowing all five runs (four earned) in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out four without a walk before giving way to Greene, who finished the game on the mound. St. Anthony finishes the spring with a 14-12 record.
