Game 2 Featured strong pitching and clutch hitting for the home team as we took down Fargo 61’s 6-4.  Isaac Jenc, Owen Johnson, and Chase Johnston pitched 2 innings each and held the powerful 61’s to their lowest run total of the tourney.  Dexter Felstul went 3 for 3 at the plate and scored 3 runs leading the offense.  Kade Johnson had a huge triple and scored on a wild pitch in the 6th to tack on a big insurance run, he scored twice in the game. 

On Sunday the Otters took on the eventual tournament champion Thompson team to start the day.  Hard hit balls right at the defense was the story of the game.  The 7-1 final didn’t reflect the fight this Otters team had in this game. 

In the final game of the day the offense turned it on.   The Otters pounded out 13 hits en route to a blowout 17-1 victory over Royalton.  Cade (Iceman) Johnson and Owen Johnson led the offense with 2 hits and a walk each.  Johnson and Johnson and Johnson and Johnston (not a typo) burned up the base paths for the Otters in the victory.  Felstul and Jenc both scored 3 runs each with 2 walks and a 2B each.  Jenc started the game pitching 2 shutout innings.  Gus Proudfoot closed out the game with an efficient inning.  

The Boys pounded out a total of 27 hits and scored 24 runs for the tourney.   Hit leaders for the tourney were:  Felstul 5, K. Johnson, Jenc, O. Johnson 3 hits each. Johnston, Frank Schierer, Proudfoot, C. Johnson and Landon Noon 2 hits each.  Hayden Heruth, Jude Moline, and Weston Youngberg 1 hit each. 

This team has a lot of heart and fight.  They also had the loudest dugout of any team, everyone knew which field the Otters were playing on this weekend.   

Next up for the Otters are the Barnesville Trojans this Wednesday at home.
