Morrison Homers; Norse Top Carroll College, 11-5
This story was written by Bay College SID MKike Pankow Flynn Morrison (FR, Melbourne, Australia) would get the scoring started in the first. He would launch a ball over the left field fence that would end up in the Fox River. It ended up being the first ever Bay College homerun, and it would give Bay a 2-0 lead. Bay would turn double plays in the third and fourth innings, getting themselves out of a couple of tough spots. Then in the fifth they would get lead off singles from Owen Hanson (FR, Gladstone, MI) and Oliver Dunn (FR, Melbourne, Australia), which were followed by a walk, loading the bases with no one out. Bay would add to it in the sixth with a Weinert RBI double and a deep sacrifice fly off the bat of Justin Popelka (SO, Escanaba, MI). The Norse defense would falter in the bottom of the seventh, committing four errors, one passed ball, and giving up a double to plate four runs, but they would regroup enough to get out of the inning, sealing the victory. Morrison ended his big day three of three with a double, a home run, five RBI, three runs scored, and a walk. Weinert also looked sharp, going four for four with two doubles, two RBI, and a run scored. Hanson collected two hits in two at bats, with two RBI, two runs scored, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. Tyler Skufca got the win, pitching six strong innings. He would give up two hits, just one earned run, while striking out four and walking two.
