Tuesday April 25, the seventh-grade baseball team played host to the Eagles from Eden Valley-Watkins. We were able to complete four innings before the rain forced us to call the game. The Cubs fell by a score of 8-3. Ashton Hanan started on the mound for the Cubs and went three strong innings. He gave up 3 runs, with all of them coming on a two-out bases-loaded double by the Eagles clean-up hitter in the third inning. The Cubs were able to get one run back in the bottom of the inning with Cody Leither hitting a single, and then scoring on Hanan?Äôs double, to make the score 3-1. In the fourth inning, Carter Holtz came in to pitch with the rain starting to intensify. With the rain coming down, Carter?Äôs pitches were a little wild. We gave up five runs in the inning, but Carter did a nice job of battling through the tough conditions. In the bottom of the inning we were able to string together some hits and scored 2 runs before the game was called with the final score of 8-3.
Hitting highlights for the Cubs include: Leither 1-3 with an rbi, Hanan 1-2 with a double and rbi, Skylor Gruba 1-2, Mason Libbesmeier 1-2, Matthew Young 1-2 with an rbi. The Cubs game Thursday, April 27, was postponed. This week the Cub?Äôs game for Monday, May 1, against Kennedy was postponed. Tuesday the Cubs traveled to Maple Lake, and Thursday we will host Holdingford at 4:30.
