“Brady McAfee had another good start and gave us a good lead,” Marquette Catholic head coach Tim Fahnestock said. “File came in and closed the door on them. I was really happy with the way our pitchers controlled the game. We did a good job of putting the ball in play and moving the runners. It was a good day for us.”
