Dutchmen Baseball
Melrose third baseman Brennan Hoppe waited to tag out a
Wadena-Deer Creek’s Wyatt Hamann to complete a pick off play in Melrose Area’s
11-1 win Thursday in the Section 6AA playoffs.
The Dutchmen hit well scoring nine runs in the second inning to take a
10-0 lead. A two-run double by Will Stone, followed by a three-run home run by Cody
Pundsack, highlighted that inning. Melrose Area batted around in the second
with Logan Funk, Zac Van Beck, Brennan Hoppe, Dillon Haider and Jordan Klaphake
all having two at bats that inning. Brady Birch pitched a complete game to earn
the win. He walked none and gave up six hits.
His third inning home run gave Melrose an 11-1 lead. Melrose turned
two double plays in the game. The game
was called after five innings because of the 10-run rule. More on the game will be in the June 7 issue
of the Melrose Beacon.
