ST. JOSEPH - Connor Hale, Tanner Jacob, and Jared Altenbaumer wait at home plate for Luke Landrus after his long bomb over the left field fence that landed five yards shy of Route 150 during St. Joseph-Ogden's home game against Normal University High School at Meier Field on Friday. Landrus, who also plastered a double and collected a stolen base in the contest, went 3-for-3 and delivered five RBIs in the Spartans' 17-7 non-conference win over the Pioneers. Hale and Jacob scored on the play giving SJO a 14-6 advantage on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth inning.
