It was a town junior high baseball game as Effingham played host to Effingham St. Anthony and ended up as a crowd-pleaser with a close contest Thursday.

Only two runs were scored and that was by St. Anthony in the opening inning for the 2-0 victory. The two squads went through the second through seventh without a score.

The Bullpups finished with eight hits led by Curtis Tingley with two singles and a double and Blake Verdeyen with a double and an RBI. The rest of the hits were all singles by four different players.

Verdeyen went 5.2 innings on the mound for the win. He allowed no runs on three hits, one walk while striking out 10. Tingley came on to finish the 1.1 innings with two strikeouts.
