The MACA baseball foe was Pelican Rapids as the April phase of the
schedule came to a close. The Tigers waltzed to victory 10-0 on the
road.
Lincoln Berget and Tom Holland connected for RBI singles in the
second inning to fuel a three-run rally. Two runs were tacked on the
scoreboard in the fifth, thanks to a sacrifice fly and wild pitch.
The most robust rally was in the fifth when the hot-hitting Mac
Beyer singled to drive in two runs, among the five runs total in that
frame. Morris Area Chokio Alberta climbed to a ten-run lead which meant
the seventh inning didn't need to be played.
Beyer was a perfect three-for-three with one of his hits a double. He netted two RBIs.
The MACA line score was ten runs, nine hits and no errors. The Pelican Rapids numbers were 0-3-3.
Tom Holland had two hits in three at-bats. Bryce Jergenson had a hit in his only at-bat.
Chandler Erickson netted two RBIs to go with his one-for-three
numbers. Lincoln Berget went one-for-two with an RBI, and Sam Mattson
was a perfect one-for-one.
Pitching-wise, Chandler Erickson was the starter and winner, and
Jake Torgerson closed things out. Chandler's numbers: five innings,
seven strikeouts, three walks, three hits and no runs. Jake's numbers:
one inning, one strikeout, no walks and no hits or runs.
Losing pitcher Devin Schell pitched the whole way.
Ryan Huseby had a double for Pelican Rapids.
Montevideo 3, Tigers 0
The MACA boys were hoping to sneak up to .500 Tuesday (5/1),
playing here, but the goal was elusive. It was elusive because of the
pitching prowess of Colton Vien.
The Tigers managed just four hits in this 3-0 WCC-South loss. The
home field provided no special comfort as the Tigers committed five
errors. Montevideo had but one error.
Coach Mark Torgerson's crew came out of the day at 4-6 overall, 3-4 in conference.
Vien and the Tigers' Sam Mattson engaged in a pitching duel with neither team able to score through the first four innings.
The error bugaboo emerged to help Monte plate a run in the fifth. A
throwing error allowed a Thunder Hawk to pull in at second. Joe Bednar
drove in that runner with a single.
Monte got a little cushion in the sixth with a two-run spurt. Brett
Bergeson and Vien reached safely to get things started. The error
bugaboo got one of those runs in: a throwing error. A suicide squeeze
was good for the other run getting across.
Mattson was the hard-luck loser, going the whole way and giving up
three runs, one of which was unearned. He struck out five batters,
walked two and gave up five hits.
Vien set down eight batters on strikes and walked just one.
Four Tigers each had one hit: Tanner Picht, Chandler Erickson, Brody Bahr and Lincoln Berget. Erickson's hit was a double.
Bergeson had a two-for-three afternoon for Monte.
