SALINA, Kan. — The Fremont Moo traveled to Salina, Kansas, for a two-game series against the Salina Sliders. The series opened Wednesday night, with the Moo falling 3-2 in 10 innings.  The game featured a pitching duel, as both teams remained scoreless through the first five innings. Salina finally broke through in the sixth, scoring one run before adding another in the seventh to take a 2-0 lead. The Moo got on the board in the eighth inning. Ripken Fleck led off with a one-out single, and Wyatt Throckmorton followed with a double to center field to move Fleck to third. Fleck was caught in a rundown between third base and home plate, but an errant throw by the Salina catcher allowed him to score, cutting the deficit to 2-1. Burke Jasa stepped to the plate in the ninth and launched a solo home run, his third consecutive game with a homer, to tie the game at 2-2 and force extra innings. The Sliders capitalized in the 10th inning under the extra-inning rule. The automatic runner placed on second, advanced home on a sacrifice fly, giving Salina the 3-2 walk-off victory.
