St. Thomas Aquinas ⚾️ (5A, 10-1) is once again one of the top teams in the Midwest.

Playing one of the toughest schedules you’ll find, the Saints have taken on opponents from multiple states and are coming off big wins over 7A Arkansas programs. Their only loss? A one-run game to an Oklahoma school, Edmond Memorial (2,600+ students in HS).

The lineup has been productive throughout:
Brady Stewart: .588 AVG
Jackson McDonald: .483 AVG, 14 RBI
Owen Kitts: .424 AVG, 12 RBI
Henry Goodwin: 17 RBI
Will Ray: .385 AVG, 7 RBI

On the mound, they’ve got multiple arms delivering:
Nic Sabers: 0.64 ERA, 15 K in 14.0 IP (pictured)
Will Ray: 2.37 ERA, 20 K in 19.0 IP
Lincoln Boyle: 21 K in 15.1 IP

Wins include Gardner Edgerton (10-0), Blue Valley Southwest (10-3), Blue Valley North (11-1), St. James (3-1), along with out-of-state wins over Skutt Catholic (NE), Warrensburg (MO), Fayetteville (AR), and Har-Ber (AR).

Back-to-back 5A state champions under Rick Sabath, and once again proving they belong in any conversation about the best teams in the region. #sportsinkansas

[Saints Baseball @stasaints_bsb]

Thornton with the K to end it.

[Sterling Thornton @sterlingthor]

Good start on the mound and a 5-1 start with @stasaints_bsb
