The Fergus Falls 14U baseball team defeated Wheaton 7-3 on Thursday night to complete their regular season league schedule.  

The Otter offense was able to score runs in four of their six at bats.  They scored single runs in the 1st and the 5th, two runs in the 3rd, and three runs in the 6th.  Wheaton scored one run in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings.  The Otters collected nine hits in the game.  Levi King and Andrew Klinnert both managed two hits to lead the way at the plate.  Henry Bethel, Alex Ellison, Luke Pearson, Logan Larson, and Lucas Hanson had one hit each.  Both Ellison and Larson had 2RBI while King drove in one run.  Fergus also showed off some team speed on the basepaths as they were able to steal ten bases from the visitors.  Carston Fronning swiped three of them himself.

Fronning pitched the first 6 innings to earn the win on the mound.  He did not allow an earned run as his defense committed five errors behind him.  He gave up 5 hits, only walked 1, and struck out 9 Wheaton hitters.  Henry Bethel pitched the best inning of his season.  He attacked the strike zone and struck out the side for a scoreless inning. 

The Otters will travel to Moorhead for a doubleheader on Monday at Concordia College.  They will then prepare for their District Tournament July 15-18.  They have already qualified for the State Tournament to be held in Ham Lake July 22-25.
