PERU — Tom Keegan wanted to know what the secret behind the St. Bede Bruins hitting Monday afternoon after they rapped out 15 hits to beat his Hall Red Devils 13-3 at the Academy. He stopped St. Bede slugger Logan Bima at home plate after the game and asked him what he had for lunch. When Bima said pizza, Keegan replied, “Don’t eat any more pizza the next time you play us, OK.”

The Bruins certainly had a lot of pizazz at the plate. Eight different Bruins had at least one hit in the game. Bima belted three hits and drove in three runs, including a long triple in the second inning. The Bruins went deep down the lineup with No. 9 hitter Sam Lucas bringing up the bottom with three hits and four RBIs.

Bima said it’s a good feeling when everyone’s hitting like that.
