| | | | |  | | | | | | |
H-M-S first baseman John Benz appears to be stepping on the back of S-O's Matt Jurgens to snare this high pick-off throw during Friday night's game. Jurgens returned safely to the base and neither player was injured. S-O defeated the Hawks 11-1.

Unlike their game a week and a half ago, it was the Generals who scored, with every starter scoring at least once. both early and often. S-O threatened in the top of the first but left a runner at second base. In the second, they sent nine batters to the plate and scored five runs on four hits. Mike Berkland picked up the first runner, Craig Jacobsma, with a base hit to right. Matt Juber's double to right scored both Craig Hertz and Berkland. Shayne Schuelke drove in a pair of runs with a two-out single to right center.
In the third, Marshall Doeden led off with a walk and Jacobsma reached base, and advanced to second, on an error. Doeden scored on Hertz's sacrifice fly to center and Jacobsma eventually scored on a passed ball.
Schuelke reached base on a one-out error in the sixth and later scored on Jacobsma's base hit.
Rounding out the Generals' scoring, they added three in the top of the seventh on four hits. Schuelke had the only RBI of the inning.
The Hawks' lone score came in the bottom of the sixth. Andrew Awka drew a one-out walk, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored when Alec Ahmann hit into a fielder's choice.
S-O pounded out a dozen hits in the game. Doeden was two-for-three with two walks and a run scored. Berkland was two-for-four with one run scored and one RBI; and Schuelke was two-for-five with two runs scored and three RBI.
Kyle Harms paced the Hawks' attack with two hits in three at-bats. Andy Wetrich was two-for-four.
Greg Hiemstra went the distance for the win. He faced 31 batters allowing one unearned run on five hits and four walks with five strikeouts.
Wetrich took the loss for H-M-S. He pitched six innings, giving up eight runs on seven hits and six walks while striking out two of the 34 batters he faced. Akwa threw the seventh. He faced nine batters and was charged with three runs on four hits and a walk.
