The 10U Otters defended their home field on Wednesday night with a sweep of the Wahpeton Huskies.  The offense was clicking on all cylinders as the Otters took the opener 16-5 before completing the sweep with a 13-4 victory in the nightcap.

The Otters wasted no time jumping out to an early lead with a 7-run 1st inning.  Kade Johnson opened the game with a triple, he was driven in on an Isaac Jenc single.  Dexter Felstul set the table again launching a triple to right, Chase Johnston drove him in with a bullet into the right field corner for the 1st of his two homers of the night.  Frank Schierer and Owen Johnson kept things rolling with singles followed by a Cade Johnson walk.  Landon Noon had a line drive single to center to drive in two runs to cap the 1st inning scoring.  The top of the order got things started again in the second with a K. Johnson walk followed by a Jenc single.  Felstul and Johnston followed it up with back to back homers to put the game out of reach early.  Schierer and Gus Proudfoot also singled in the inning with Gus coming around to score on a wild pitch.  The Otters put the game away in the 4th scoring 4 more insurance runs as part of a 14 hit game.  Pitching for the Otters were Felstul, C. Johnson, Hayden Heruth and Jude Moline

Game 2 started off much like game 1 with the Otters striking 5 times in the 1st.  Walks by Heruth, Noon and Weston Youngberg set the table for the top of the order, who produced as they did all night.  Kade picked up his 3rd hit of the night, this was followed by a Jenc walk and singles by Felstul and Johnston.  The Otters again put the game away in the second inning scoring 7 more runs.  Owen Johnson got things started with a lead off single.  C. Johnson, Heruth, Youngberg and Johnson all walked to load the bases, Jenc then cleared them with a triple to right.  Felstul drove in Jenc with his 4th hit of the night, then scored himself on a wild pitch.  The Otters used five pitchers in the game with K. Johnson getting the start.  Jenc, O. Johnson, Johnston, and Proudfoot all pitched effectively with one inning each in relief. 

With these two victories the Otters moved to 11-3 on the season and extended their winning streak to 5 games.  The Otters next play this weekend when they will travel to Morris for a state qualifier tournament. 

Hit leaders for the evening-4-Felstul (HR, 3b, 2-1b), 3-K. Johnson, Jenc, Johnston (2-HR), Schierer and O. Johnson, 1-Proudfoot, Noon, and Moline.
