Fans of the Tigers were undoubtedly in the springtime mood as they watched their team carve out two impressive wins over the Falcons. The action was at ACGC.
Liz Dietz was the winning pitcher in the 9-1 triumph. Liz pitched six innings and sat down eight Falcon batters on strikes. She walked two batters and allowed four hits. She allowed the one run which was earned.
Kenna Kehoe wrapped things up on the pitching rubber. Kenna's stint was one inning in which she gave up two hits and no runs. The ACGC pitching was shared by two: Lindsey Minnick (the loser) and Jeana Denton. Minnick could be quite sharp at times as she struck out seven batters. But she gave up eight runs, six of which were earned. She walked five. Denton pitched one inning and wasn't fooling the Tiger batters as she gave up eight hits. However she only gave up one run. (That hardly seems possible but that's how it's reported in the Willmar paper.) Denton struck out one.
Let's review the MACA hitting: Bailey Marty had a hit and an RBI. Dietz rapped a double and drove in two runs. Whitney DeMaris had two hits in as many at-bats. Jen Solvie had a two-for-three line with an RBI. Jenna Howden added a hit to the mix. Riley Decker had a double and an RBI.
ACGC's Madison Denton doubled and drove in a run. These three Falcons went one-for-three: Minnick, Brittney Schultz and Jade Bierwerth. Jordan Mortensen had a two-for-three line. The Tigers out-hit the Falcons 8-6 and fielded more cleanly, with one error compared to ACGC's three.
We pulled away on the scoreboard with a four-run sixth inning.
Tigers 10, ACGC 0
Game #2 of this twin bill showed the Tigers very much in the groove with their play, again. Jen Solvie made noise with her bat as she hit safely three times to propel the orange and black to a 10-0 win. Those hits included a home run and double. We led 7-0 after two innings. We outhit the Falcons 9-3. We were perfect in the field with zero errors while ACGC booted the ball three times.
Liz Dietz showcased her pitching arm the whole way. She pitched a shutout in this game that was shortened to five innings. She struck out four Falcon batters and walked just one. She allowed three hits. The ACGC pitching was shared by Lindsey Minnick (the pitcher of record) and Jeana Denton.
Jen Solvie had a perfect three-for-three boxscore line and drove in four runs. Bailey Marty smacked two doubles and drove in two runs. Abbie McNally went two-for-three. Liz Dietz and Emma Bowman each added a hit to the mix with Bowman's being a double. Emma drove in a run. The three ACGC hits were by Rylie Wilner, Jordan Mortensen and Brittney Schultz.
Baseball: Tigers 2, Montevideo 1
The curtain opened for a new season of prep baseball on Tuesday for Morris Area Chokio Alberta. The decisive hit was a single off the bat of Kevin Asfeld in the bottom of the eighth frame. The bases were loaded. One run came in and this was the difference-maker in the Tigers' 2-1 triumph over the Thunder Hawks of Montevideo, here.
Monte carried a 1-0 lead after five innings. But the well went dry for them, while our orange and black plated one run each in the sixth and eighth. The fielding category showed us with the advantage as we committed one error compared to four for the visitor. We outhit Monte 6-5.
Three Tigers shared the pitching work: Chandler Vogel, Trevor Voges and Brock Anderson. Anderson picked up the win with his three innings in which he fanned four batters, walked none and gave up one hit. Voges set down a batter on strikes in his one inning. Vogel picked up three strikeouts and walked two batters in his four innings of work. He gave up three hits and one run (earned).
Monte's Noah Buseman was the losing pitcher. Max Carruth also pitched for Monte and impressed with his seven strikeouts and zero walks.
Vogel was sharp at the plate with two hits and two runs scored. Joe Kleinwolterink had a hit and an RBI. Asfeld had a one-for-three line with a run batted in. Tyler Reimers and Trevor Voges each connected for a hit. Five players each had one hit for the T-Hawks: Noah Buseman (a double), Chase Korte, Max Carruth (a double), John VanRavenswaay and Seth Kuno.
