I don't know that Deep Run "struggled" against Benedictine. For one thing, Benedictine is perennially among the best private school teams you'll find. They certainly have their share of talent this year. For another, Deep Run used a LOT of players in that game, guys who might not play in regular season, and still won.
Generally I though they looked average in the field, average at the plate, but extremely deep in pitching. No one pitcher made headlines but the fact that they have so many gives them a big edge.
Agree with Midlo--- Benedictine may very well be defending their State championship in mid-May. Who did BHS use on the mound? Z. Joseph (All-Metro 2010) and A. Wood (headed to VMI) are as good a 1-2 on the mound as any one--public or private. So if Deep Run "won"- I say they did OK.
