A walk-off double by Brayden Meuwenberg scored Reeths-Puffer a
needed 7-6 win over Caledonia Thursday in O-K Green Conference play.
After
the visiting Scots tied the game at 6 in the top of the seventh inning,
Hank Mitchelson drew a leadoff walk. Pinch runner Landon Learn then
took second on a wild pitch, and with a full count, Meuwenberg delivered
with the winning double.
R-P (4-3, 3-2 O-K Green) took the
lead with a three-run second inning after falling behind 2-0. Two
Rockets scored on an error in the inning, and Ethan Frang's RBI single
put R-P ahead. The Rockets never trailed again.
Frang,
Mitchelson and Brendan Guikema got two hits each in the win. Guikema
pitched 6 1/3 innings before pitch-count limits forced him out of the
game. He allowed three earned runs and struck out six. Meuwenberg got
the win by completing the seventh.
