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.
