The Moo came to Moller Field looking for a quick, three-game sweep of the Nebraska Prospects. The series finale would end with a massive 14-1 victory over the Prospects, run-ruling their opponent in seven innings.
Zach Vincent (Midland) would take the mound and allow a run to score in the first on a fielder’s choice. It would be the only run the Moo would allow as the bats would answer back big.
Joshua Hardamon (Midland) would double home Cooper Fuchino (Creighton) to tie it up at one in the bottom of the first.
Then in the third, Tanner Jacobsen (Cloud County) would scramble home on a passed ball to give the Moo a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
The fourth would see three runs score. One on a Brayden Jones (Doane) single, and two on a Preston Gajewski (NOC-Tonkawa) to make it 5-1 Moo.
The fifth would be the Moo’s biggest inning. SEVEN runs would cross the plate in the inning, highlighted by Jake Mitchell’s two-RBI double, and a Joshua Hardamon two-run RBI double.
To cap it all off in the bottom of the 6th, Grant Rychnovsky (Northwestern) would double home Brayden Jones and Caiden Brezinski (Butler) to put it well out of reach. 14-1 would be the final after seven innings because of the ILB’s ten-after-seven-run rule.
The final line saw the Moo score fourteen runs (14) on twelve (12) hits and committed four (4) errors. The Prospects scored one (1) run on four (4) hits and committed two (2) errors.
The Moo improves to a 6-11 record. The Prospects fall to a 4-7 record.
The Moo are back at Moller Field on Wednesday, June 18th. It starts a seven-game home stand against the Plainsmen and the Nebraska Prospects.
