It took one swing of the bat, just three batters into Tuesday's key Metro Suburban Conference game, for St. Francis to take a big step toward a big win, as well as a giant step toward a conference title.
All-state third baseman/pitcher Rocco Tenuta blasted a 2-run homer over the fence in left center field for a quick 2-0 lead at Wheaton Academy. Tenuta then pitched the final 1.1 innings in relief to save a 3-1 win over the Warriors.
With Lemke -- and then Tenuta -- pitching so well, the homer proved to be more than enough offense on this day. St. Francis led 3-0 before the Warriors scored an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh and brought the tying run to the plate before a Tenuta strike out ended the game. Lemke slowed a potent Warriors attack with a combination of cutters and change-ups early, and added a moving sinker that led to a lot of groundballs. The Spartans kept the shutout in tact in the fifth when catcher Joey Gainer chased down an errant pitch and connected with Lemke at the plate to nail a runner trying to score from third base with two on and two out.
