Brochu came within three men of a perfect game as he gave up only one single, two walks, while fanning eighteen.
Andrews pitched excellent ball for the Bishops by scattering eight hits, fanning five, and walking none. The Miller boys took full advantage of two Bishop infield errors to account for their two runs.
