Game Highlights
Regionals- Clay Center Kansas- 5/15
Game 1 last night saw Ian Russell absolutely dominated on the mound in a 10-2 win over Marysville. Ian threw 6 innings giving up 2 runs (none of which were earned) on 4 hits with only 1 walk and 12 strikeouts!! Cam Minihan closed out the game throwing a perfect 7th inning with a strikeout. At the plate the Mustangs were led by Sky White who broke the game open with a bases loaded triple in the 3rd inning. Skyler was 2-3 with 3 runs scored and 3 RBI. Caden Churchman provided a double and an RBI and 8 different players scored a run in the game…a total team effort.
The championship game was an 11-4 win over a very tough Clay Center team. The Mustangs got going in the 3rd inning with Brooks Whaley leading things off with a hard hit ball followed by bunt singles from Skyler White and Cameron Minihan to load the bases with no outs. Derek Shaheen doubled to left center to score 2 and get the Rock going. Shaheen finished the game 2-4 with a double and 4 RBI. Cameron Minihan was 2-3 with 3 runs scored and a double and Carson Zenger and Tucker Gehrt each had multiple hits in the game as well. Caden Churchman provided a big 2 RBI double in the 5th as the Mustangs won their 5thstraight regional title and qualified for the state tournament in Salina next Thursday and Friday.
