Fastball: Brother Martin beats Ponchatoula 2-0, advances to Division I Select semifinals

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — No. 3 Brother Martin battled No. 11 Ponchatoula in game two of their Division I Select quarterfinal series Friday night at Kirsch-Rooney.

The Crusaders and Green Wave had a 6:30 p.m. first pitch, but following a two-hour rain delay, the game did not end until four hours later.

In between the time though, Bronson Leaumont scored on a Ponchatoula error, and in relief effort, Nolan Amato retired four of the final five Green Wave batters, including a strikeout to secure Brother Martin’s 2-0 victory.

The Crusaders will take on the winner of No. 2 Holy Cross and No. 10 Acadiana.

Highlights of this game were featured on WGNO’s Friday Night Fastball presented by Delgado Community College, Step Closer to Unstoppable.

There is one more show on Friday, May 9, starting at 11 p.m. on Nola 38, the CW. The show replays at midnight on WGNO.
