Morris 11, Brandon-Evansville 1
The Morris nine took the diamond to play Brandon-Evansville Monday
and took command, scoring runs in every inning except one. Only in the
fourth was there a goose egg for Morris.
The final line scores showed Post #29 with eleven runs on eleven
hits and one error, while B-E posted 1-3-5 numbers. Only five innings
were required. The Morris dominance took care of that.
This was the fourth Morris triumph of the campaign against no losses.
Tanner Picht's name doesn't usually appear with pitching in the
boxscore. On Monday (6/18) Picht did all the Morris pitching and allowed
just that one B-E run (earned). He performed like he was a stalwart on
the mound, setting down ten B-E batters on strikes. Remember, this was
just a five-inning game.
Picht walked just two batters and allowed three hits.
Dan Schafer pitched for B-E and got roughed up, although it should
be noted only four of the eleven runs he allowed were earned. Those five
B-E errors took a toll in their loss. Schafer struck out three batters
and walked two.
The Morris offense attacked Schafer for eleven hits as Picht led
the way at three-for-four. He crossed home plate three times. Two of his
hits were doubles. It was a day where it seemed he did everything as he
also stole two bases.
Chandler Erickson went two-for-four and drove in a run. Tyler
Henrichs socked a double as part of going two-for-four, and scored two
runs.
Mac Beyer had a double, a triple, two runs scored and a pair of
RBIs. Brody Bahr had no hits but stole a base and drove in a run.
Jacob Torgerson and Jordan Staples each added a hit to the mix. Torgerson had an RBI and Staples scored a run.
The B-E players hitting safely were Zach Gibson, Billie Juul and Craig Campbell.
The big inning for Post #29 was the third when six runs came in.
The team batted around. RBIs resounded off the bats of Beyer, Picht,
Torgerson and Erickson.
Glenwood 6, Morris 5
Post #29 was brought down to earth in Thursday (6/21) home action, getting bested by Glenwood 6-5.
It was a humbling game as Morris broke down defensively in the
seventh. Morris led 5-2 entering the seventh and seemed on track to stay
unbeaten. But it wasn't to be. Two fielding miscues fueled a four-run
Glenwood rally as the Morris fans groaned.
Three singles preceded those errors. Singles by Patrick Stumpf,
Jake Amundson and Austin Giese loaded the bases. A ground ball then
resulted in an errant throw. Two runs came in.
Runners are now at second and third and Morris opts to
intentionally walk Andrew Amundson. There is one out. The next batter
hits a chopper. A throw home results in the catcher not being able to
secure the ball. Two more runs scoring is the consequence, so it's a
whole new ballgame.
Glenwood (Post #187) is up 6-5 and needs to retire Morris in the
bottom of the seventh. The ball is handed to Trenton Berg for relief
duties. Berg got the job done, fanning a batter for the final out.
Beyer and Torgerson pitched for Morris with Beyer getting the loss.
Morris outhit Glenwood 6-5. Torgerson with his two-for-three line
was the only Post #29 batter with multiple hits. Jake scored a run and
drove in a run.
Chandler Erickson had a hit, a stolen base and a run scored. Tyler Henrichs scored two runs to go with his one-for-three line.
Mac Beyer went one-for-three and scored twice. Jordan Staples had a hit in two at-bats and picked up an RBI.
The Glenwood hits were by Jake Amundson, Austin Giese, Trenton Berg, Zach Sanford and Patrick Stumpf.
The big inning for Morris was the sixth when four runs came in.
A little more fielding resiliency in the seventh, and Morris would
have won this game. But the positives have far outweighed the minuses
thus far in the season.
