APPLETON – The Xavier baseball team picked up its first win of the season, downing crosstown rival Fox Valley Lutheran 5-1 in a nonconference game Wednesday at American Legion Post 38’s Don Hawkins Field.

Quinn Comerford threw six no-hit innings, striking out five with three walks to earn the win for the Hawks (1-5).

The Hawks pushed their lead to 5-0 with a three-run sixth. Milhaupt had an RBI triple and scored on a single by Bleck. Evan Wittmann’s sacrifice fly finished off Xavier’s scoring.

Fox Valley Lutheran (2-3) had both of its hits and scored its only run in the seventh when Conor Tetting knocked in a run with a single.
