Black, Glumac carry Eagles over Rebels

Alex Glumac isn’t the biggest guy on the field for Serra Catholic’s baseball team. On the mound, he probably doesn’t throw the hardest, either. But the young man can pitch and he put on a show Monday.

Glumac tossed a five hitter and threw only 73 pitches, outdueling University of Kentucky recruit Drew Lafferty, in a 3-0 Section 3-2A win over Seton-LaSalle at Boston Field.

Glumac got all the offensive support he needed off the bat of catcher Mark Black, who hit a towering three-run homer in the bottom of the second to account for the Eagles’ offense.

Serra Catholic’s defense made the lead stand, as the Eagles (6-1, 1-0) played their best defensive game of the season.
