One Bad Inning
Wes Austin
and Waupaca teammates gave up 5 runs including 4 errors in the top of the 4th
inning. Little Falls wins Grand Championship 8-4 Waupaca pulled
within 2 runs in the 5th inning, but Dusty Reid (Grand
Championship MVP) hit a 2-run homer in the 9th to put the game out
of reach. Zac
Peterson’s (CG, 9H, 6K) pitching wasn’t a factor due to Waupaca having 6
errors at crucial times. Loggers’ Tim Heise broke a scoreless tie in the 3rd with a
solo home run. In the next inning, Heise hit a 2 run triple to take a 6-0 lead. Wes Austin’s 4th
inning 2-run home run put the Lakemen on the board
but still trailed 6-2. The game ended when
Dusty Reid (CG, 11H, 14K) finished a strong pitching performance striking out
Rocky Mondello.
