Morris Legion plates 12 runs, downs Glenwood

The Morris Legion boys breezed in Monday (7/10) action, gaining a healthy lead within the first four innings and then applying a cushion. That cushion was to the tune of six runs in the fifth. All that offense spelled a comfortable win over Glenwood.
Morris pounded out nine nits in achieving this 12-2 win.
Click on the permalink below to read about the Morris Legion team's July 5 and 6 games. July 5 brought a win over Brandon-Evansville while the 6th had a loss vs. Osakis. This post is on my companion website, "Morris of Course." Thanks for reading. - BW

Morris scored in every inning: three in the first and one each in the second through fourth before that big six-run fifth.
There was no need to play any more than five innings. "The rule" (ten-run rule) came into effect, or else Morris would almost certainly have achieved double digits in hits. Glenwood was held to three hits.
The line scores also show Morris with two errors and Glenwood with three. This savory win was No. 10 on the season for Post #29 against four losses.
The sixth inning saw eleven Morris batters come up to bat. The first eight of those reached safely, spelling headaches for Glenwood.
It was a nice evening to be the Morris starting pitcher. Sam Mattson, who usually doesn't even need such generous support, got it. He pitched the full five for the win. He fanned six batters and walked three while allowing three hits and two runs (earned).
Trenton Berg was tagged with the pitching loss. Andrew Amundson and Zack Samford also pitched for Glenwood.
Berg had a one-for-three showing offensively, stole a base, scored a run and drove in one. Amundson and Sawyer Thompson had the other Glenwood hits.
Let's look at the Morris offensive contributors: Tom Holland scored two runs and stole a base while going two-for-four. Tanner Picht crossed home plate and stole a pair of bases.
Mac Beyer smacked the ball around as is his habit, recording a double and triple, scoring two runs and driving in one. Jacob Torgerson had a hit, a run and an RBI.
Bryce Jergenson connected for two hits, scored a run and drove in two. Lincoln Berget contributed a run scored and stolen base.
Jordan Staples doubled, scored two runs and stole a base. Brody Bahr had a run and RBI. Chandler Erickson went one-for-three.
