When the St. Andrew\u2019s College (SAC) Saints aren\u2019t ruling the hockey rink in the winter, they are ruling the baseball field in the summer.<\/p>\n

The varsity baseball team upgraded their season record to 8 \u2013 0 on Monday, capping off a perfect divisional record. But the number doesn\u2019t even do them justice.<\/p>\n

After opening the season with three wins to take the Port Hope invitational tournament last month, the SAC \u201cboys of summer\u201d headed to the championship matchup of their own home tournament last week against the King City Lions. There, heavy-hitter Jerod Forte led the offence to their second tournament victory in as many weeks.<\/p>\n

Taking on the Crescent School Coyotes last week, a 19 \u2013 5 win was the product of contributions from all corners of the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery member of the roster received multiple at-bats, and contributed to the offensive explosion,\u201d said Len Gurr, varsity baseball coach.<\/p>\n

Monday they continued their domination of the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association with a double-digit win over Country Day School of King City. The Saints went up 10 \u2013 0 in the first inning, an inning that lasted over half an hour.<\/p>\n

After facing off against St. Michael\u2019s College after press-time on Wednesday, the varsity Saints will once again be hosting a tournament at the Yuill Family Athletic Complex before preparing for the CISAA post-season the following week.<\/p>\n

The Saints fell to a talented squad from Upper Canada College last season in the CISAA semi-finals, despite an impressive 7 \u2013 1 regular season record.
\nWhile the U14 Saints team continues to struggle, the U12 team has remained consistent with their varsity brethren, earning only their first divisional loss last week against Crescent School.<\/p>\n
