A massive third-inning outburst sends the Andrean Fighting 59ers rolling to a 14-3 victory over the Morgan Park Mustangs in a high-powered offensive performance.
The baseball game took place on Friday, May 8, at Andrean High School.
After Morgan Park grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second inning, Andrean answered unequivocally by erupting for 10 runs in the bottom of the third to completely flip the momentum.

Gnatt and Bordui each finished with three RBIs, while Andrean’s disciplined approach at the plate helped produce 10 walks in the victory.
