May 29—BOYNE CITY — Traverse City St. Francis had its Lake Michigan Conference win streak snapped, but extended its LMC baseball title run in the same doubleheader.

The Gladiators split Thursday with Boyne City, dropping the opener 5-1, but rallying to capture the second contest 4-3. That gives the Glads their seventh consecutive Lake Michigan crown. Their league win streak stops at 59 straight wins.

Aaron Bess pitched the Ramblers to the opening-game win, striking out nine in six innings and allowing only four hits, one unearned run and no walks. Bobby Hoth led Boyne at the plate with a 2-for-3 game with a double, two RBIs and two runs. Jacob Bush and Bess also drove in runs, with Bess collecting two hits. Kaden Jewett doubled and scored a run.

Charlie Peterson and Cody Richards collected two hits each for St. Francis (21-8, 13-1 LMC) and Jimmy Muzljakovich drove in a run. Peterson fanned seven in five innings.

Judd Lawson picked up the nightcap win, striking out four over five innings, while Peterson earned a save with an inning of relief work.

Richards drove in two with a double, Josh Groves added two hits and Muzljakovich and Corbin Domres each drove in a run.

The Gladiators play Tuesday at Traverse City West, while Boyne City (18-5) hosts Gaylord St. Mary on Tuesday.
