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.

The Moo showed up to the ballpark and gazed upon a damp Moller Field looking to secure a much-needed win to right the ship. What ensued was a turbulent, 11-inning affair that would end in extras. Carter Schellsmidt (Valparaiso) would start this game, with a bang. A Schellsmidt shot over the wall would give the Moo an immediate 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Rhyn Chambers would struggle to find the zone as the Moo would put two more on the board following the homer to make it 3-0 Moo at the end of one. The following inning would see the Moo strike for four runs.A wild pitch and a walk would score the first two, but with the bases loaded Joshua Hardamon (Midland) would deal the biggest blow. A two-RBI single that clanged off the Moller Monster in left to bring home Cooper Fuchino (Creighton) and Brinden Floyd (RCSJ). The scoreboard read 7-0 at the end of two as the Moo looked to rely on a strong start from Luca Dickinson (Skyline). Dickinson would produce his finest outing of the early season going 6.0 innings, allowing two (2) runs to score (only one earned), on seven (7) hits while striking out two (2) batters. The Moo would look to the Creighton Blue Jay, Cooper Fuchino, for some offense. A fifth-inning, RBI double would put the Moo’s eighth and final run of the game on the board. Slowly, the Sasquatch started scoring. A run in the fourth…a run in the sixth…FIVE runs in the seventh…and a tying run in the ninth to send it to extras. Extras would see the Sasquatch take the lead on a Chase Scott single to bring home what would be the winning run. The bottom of the 11th would see a sac bunt move Preston Gajewski (NOC-Tonkawa) to third. The suicide squeeze was on as Jake Mitchell’s bunt proved ineffective as Gajewski would be thrown out at the plate. A batter later, Mitchell would try to take second and be thrown out to end the game. The Sasquatch came back to pick up their fifth win of the season. The final line saw the Moo score eight (8) runs on six (6) hits and committed one (1) errors. The Sasquatch scored nine (9) runs on fourteen (14) hits while committing two (2) error.
