On their way to helping Blanchet Catholic School’s baseball team to its 31st of 32 consecutive PacWest Conference wins, two seniors pulled off one of the rarest feats.
With the Cavaliers leading Colton 3-1 in the top of the seventh inning on Wednesday, Blanchet loaded the bases to bring up senior catcher Nate Cantonwine.
