Moo Recap: 7/27 - A BovineBall finale ends with the Prospects victorious

July 28, 2025

A BovineBall finale ends with the Prospects taking a 10-8 victory as the 2025 season comes to a close. The final game of the season would not be an ordinary contest. The Moo and the Nebraska Prospects would agree to a set of rules, similar to that of BananaBall, but with a Fremont twist: BovineBall. It would be a blast for the players, coaches, and fans, as the ballgame was an avalanche of hilarious moments throughout. The first inning saw Eli Larson (Sioux Falls) allow two runs to score—one on a walk to Jacob Perrin and another on a Dalton Bargo double scoring Perrin. The RBI walk would score a run from second, and Perrin would make it to second because a rule of BovineBall stipulates that if a walk occurs, the batter can run as far as he chooses before every defender can touch the ball. The Moo would push across four runs in the second, with a three-run home run from Tyman Long (North Dakota State) highlighting the inning. The Moo held a 4-2 lead, going to the third inning, where the Moo grabbed a 5-2 lead thanks to a passed ball, scoring Cooper Fuchino (Creighton) from third. The top of the fourth would see the Prospects push a run across on an inside the park home run walk as a wild throw from third baseman Grant Ryan (Northeast CC) would get past the left fielder Joshua Hardamon, allowing Finn Hochstein to score, making it 5-3. After a tie during the home run derby in between the top and bottom of the fourth, the Moo would strike for a run with Brayden Jones (Doane) with an RBI single, bringing in Tanner Jacobson (Cloud County) after Jacobson’s walk triple. The Moo had a 6-3 lead going to the fifth. The Prospects would score two in the fifth to pull the deficit down to a run. The commissioner of Bovine Ball, Ben Ascher would announce that the sixth and seventh innings would be played in reverse, meaning the batters would have to run to third out of the box. It did not affect the Prospects as they would tie the game up with an RBI single from Coby Hatcher. No runs in the seventh for either side before the Prospects put across four runs in the top of the eighth. The Moo mounted a comeback, striking for two runs in the bottom of the eighth, setting up for an exciting ninth with the score at 10-8 in favor of the Prospects. After an exciting ninth that featured a 9-2 double play from Cooper Fuchino. The Moo would go quietly in the ninth, finalizing the game and the 2025 season. A 10-8 loss in BovineBall. The 2025 season concluded with the Moo finishing with a 23-25 overall record and a BovineBall record of 0-1. Everyone in the Fremont Moo Organization would like to thank the fans for their support during the 2025 season and hopes to see you at Moller Field in 2026.
