Errors bite the Fremont Moo as they fall to the Hastings Sodbusters 11-3. Coming off a rainout, the Moo were well-rested for a rivalry matchup against the Hastings Sodbusters. Both teams sat at even second-half records entering. The Moo at 5-5 and the Sodbusters at 4-4. Someone had to get a win. The Sodbusters would strike first in the opening frame off of returner from the 2024 squad, Landon Mueller. The first five Sodbuster batters would collect five hits and score three runs in the first. Mueller would work out of it with a strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play. Mueller would work through two innings in his 2025 debut, giving up six hits and three runs while striking out three batters before making way for Aiden McGrath (Skyline) in the third. Errors would hinder the Moo in McGrath’s time on the bump. The Sodbusters would strike for a run in the third, three in the fourth, and two in the fifth. Every single run was unearned as the Moo committed four errors that would lead to those six runs. McGrath would exit before the sixth, giving the ball to Eli Larson (Sioux Falls) for the inning. Two more Sodbusters would score, one run earned and the other unearned, to make it 11-0 at the end of the top of the sixth. The Moo would conjure up a couple of runs in the bottom of the sixth. The legend of Rocco Geritano (SUSCC) would grow as his hustle would bring home a run, as a hurried throw to first would bring home the first Moo run, as Nate Wachter would score. The next batter, Cooper Fuchino (Creighton), would bring home Tanner Jacobsen (Cloud County) on a sacrifice fly to make it 11-2, Sodbusters still in front. That score would hold through the seventh and the eighth, with Creighton Jacobitz leading the way for the Sodbusters on the mound—eight innings, two unearned runs, on one hit, totaling four strikeouts–in his second start against the Moo this season. The Moo would put across a lone run on a Nate Wachter sac fly to bring home the Moo’s third run of the night. That would be the final run scored in the game as the Moo fall 11-3. The Sodbusters scored eleven (11) runs on twelve (12) hits and committed one (1) error. The Moo scored three (3) runs on three (3) hits and had five (5) errors defensively. Creighton Jacobitz would get the win for the Sodbusters while Landon Mueller would get handed the loss. Fremont moves to a 15-19 record overall and a 5-6 second-half record. The Sodbusters move to a 20-15 overall record with a 5-3 second-half record. The Moo are back tomorrow night at Moller Field to take on the Bison Baseball Club at 7:05.

Wednesday at Moller Field would not be an offensive explosion like the night prior, as the Moo would be shut out in the rubber match against the Spuds 9-0. The Moo won game one of the series, and the Spuds took game two. Much like the series played in Casper, it was game three to decide a series victor.

Rocco Geritano (SUSCC) would highlight the second inning with his defense. Bases were loaded against Anderson with one out. Cade Queen would hit a fly ball to center, where Geritano was covering. Geritano would come up throwing after securing the catch and throw out the runner, Sean Glatts, tagging up from second to third to end the second inning with a double play. Anderson would struggle a bit in the third, but his defense would come up big again. Cannon Billingsley would sit on third after his lead-off double and a bunt from Hank Harp. A passed ball would make for an exciting play at the plate. Cooper Fuchino (Creighton) would jump out of the squat and race to the backstop to collect the loose ball and fire home to the covering Anderson, who would tag Billingsley for the out. Anderson would work through the inning without allowing a run. The Moo bats would struggle against Spuds starter John Klus as he would navigate three scoreless innings without allowing a hit. Different name, same problems as when Brenan Daniel entered in the fourth, the Moo would manage just one hit during Daniel’s four innings of work in relief. Casper’s biggest offensive inning would come in the fifth. Five runs would score against Anderson to give the Spuds a five-run lead. Andrew Witt highlighted the inning with a two-RBI single. Neither team would produce any offense whatsoever from the bottom of the sixth until the top of the ninth. The Spuds would score four runs on two hits, three walks, a hit by pitch, and an error. The scoreboard read 9-0 in favor of the Spuds as they needed three outs to take the series and the win. Matthew Ramos would secure those outs to get the Spuds a victory. The final line saw the Moo score no runs (0) runs on two (2) hits and commit two (2) errors. The Spuds scored nine (9) runs on ten (10) hits and had no (0) errors defensively. Brenan Daniel picks up the win for the Spuds, and Logan Anderson gets handed the loss. Fremont moves to a 15-18 record overall and a 5-5 second-half record.

The Fremont defense would commit nine errors as the Moo would fall to the Spuds 19-12. Tuesday night brought in two teams jostling for pole position in the ILB second half. Both squads enter with identical 5-3 records in the second half and a win for either would separate each from each other and get a game closer to first. The Spuds left fielder, Sean Glatts would rip a single to right to bring home the first run of the game in the second inning. The Moo would answer in back-to-back innings in the third and fourth innings. Joshua Hardamon (Midland) would walk home Henry Hayman (Akron) to tie the ballgame at one apiece.
