RLYB Shuts Out 1st Place Subway 14-0

In one of the most dominant performances in the history of Red Lake baseball, Trent Beaulieu & Aaron White combined to pitch a perfect game against 1st place Subway Thursday night Bemidji Youth Baseball action. Subway now has a 13-2 record with both losses coming to Red Lake. Beaulieu pitched the first 3 innings, retiring every batter he faced while striking out 6 of 9 batters.

Leadoff man Jaden Wood then brought in Cobenais & Chaboyea but was then picked off trying to stretch a single to a double. Red Lake led 4-0 after two innings.

The 3rd inning was much like the last with Rob Beaulieu & Austin May starting off the inning with back to back singles. They were able to score on wild pitches to give RLYB a 6-0 lead after three.
