Kenneth Arthur looked like a young Greg Maddux in leading the All Saints Vikings to their first baseball victory of the season, over the Wesleyan Warriors, 16-3, at the Kirwin Terrace ball park Monday evening.
The Vikings pitcher struck out 16 Warriors, holding them to three hits and three runs. The Warriors did not get a single hard hit off Arthur, who struck out 10 in a row, four in the fourth inning then the side in the fifth and the sixth.
For offense, the Vikings relied on catcher Alberto Callwood's perfect hitting as he went five for five at plate, including two home runs. Callwood hit one home run off a pitch intended to be a pitch out.
Vikings third baseman Brian McCoy and first baseman Jose Carillo each went three for five. McCoy also homered behind Callwood in the Vikings half of the sixth inning that put the game out of reach of the Warriors. Robert Clouden added two hits in four plate appearances in the Vikings' 16-hit attack.
The Vikings improved to 1-3 in varsity play as the Warriors dropped to 0-2 for the season.
