The Lafayette baseball team had its season come to an end Thursday night as they lost at Boonville 7-5 in the Class 4 Quarterfinals.

The Fighting Irish finish the season with a 19-5 record, but made history in 2016 by advancing to their first-ever quarterfinal playoff game.  Boonville improves to 25-5 and they’ll play Fulton the Final Four Friday, June 3 in O’Fallon.  Fulton defeated Duchesne 8-6 in their Class 4 Quarterfinal.

Lafayette took a 1-0 lead in the first innning, but Boonville responded with seven unanswered runs to take a 7-1 lead after four innings.

The Irish rallied with single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, and then scored two in the seventh but that was all they could get.

Christian Coder, Nick Ryan and Cameron Richardson each had two hits to lead Lafayette.
