The usually festive Fiesta Friday at Moller Field would field an air of desperation as the Moo hoped that their losing streak was soon to end. Broc Songster (Doane) would take the mound, opposite of Evan Luke and the two would straight deal in the contest. Songster, an impressive six (6.0) innings, giving up three (3) hits while striking out a team-high nine (9) opposing batters. Luke would match with six (6.0) shutout innings with three (3) strikeouts. The lone bit of offense would come with an RBI double in the second inning for the Sasquatch. They would later strike for a single run in the eighth. It would be the only bit of offense for either team as the Sasquatch bullpen would compliment Luke’s start by shutting down the Moo bats. The Moo would fall 2-0 in nine and get swept by the Spearfish in the three-game series The final line saw the Moo score no runs on four (4) hits and committed no errors. The Sasquatch scored two (2) runs on four (4) hits while committing three (3) errors. The Moo fall to a 3-8 record. The Sasquatch improve to a 6-6 record.
