Lourdes scored in every inning but two on Thursday evening, including multiple runs in five frames, on the way to a 17-3 victory over Ohio State-Lima at Mercy Field.
 
Lourdes's offense started quickly with a pair of runs in the opening inning as Glen Crabtree (Medina, Ohio/Black River H.S.) doubled to left-center.
 
Jay Denman's (Toledo, Ohio/Saint Francis de Sales H.S.) started a four-run second inning with a run-scoring double.  Dallas Riggs (Prescott, Ariz./Bradshaw Mountain H.S.) plated two with his triple to center and Crabtree followed with another RBI single to make it 6-0.
 
The Barons broke through in the fifth, scoring a pair of unearned runs, taking advantage of back-to-back two out errors by Lourdes.
 
Lourdes responded with a run in the bottom of the fifth on a Michael Davis (Whittier, Calif./California H.S.) infield single with Corey Righman (Ashville, Ohio/Teays Valley Academy).
 
Ohio State-Lima pulled within four, 7-3, with a run in the sixth before Lourdes batted around in the bottom half of the inning, scoring five times.  The Gray Wolves took advantage of four walks, a throwing error that plated three runs, and a pair of wild pitches in the frame.
 
The Gray Wolves took advantage of more wildness from Baron hurlers in the seventh, using two walks and a hit batter, combined with a pair of triples to score two more runs.  Bryce Gargus (South Haven, Mich./South Haven H.S.) had his second triple of the game in the frame.  Four eighth inning walks led to three more runs as Lourdes closed out the scoring.
 
Lourdes pounded out 15 hits and drew 11 walks in the victory with Crabtree and Cole Cantelon (Langley, B.C./Brookswood Secondary H.S.) each driving home three runs.
 
Brad Ammons (Holland, Ohio/Springfield H.S.), the first of seven Lourdes pitchers in the game, earned the win (1-0) while Landen Myers took the loss for Ohio State-Lima (2-13).
 
Lourdes (13-14) is scheduled to return to the diamond on Saturday afternoon, as the Gray Wolves begin a three-game weekend series at Siena Heights.  First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 1 p.m. at the SHU Baseball Diamond in Adrian, Mich.
