“It was a pitcher’s duel between Carter Thielke and Camacho,” stated Fergus Falls Head Coach Kevin Pearson.  “The difference in the ball game was the fact that the Rebels were able to get a couple of big hits with runners in scoring position.  The Otters were unable to get the runner on second home in the fifth and sixth innings.  Both times we executed a sacrifice bunt to move the runner to second with one out.  We just couldn’t capitalize with a big hit.”

The Rebels received RBI hits from Austin Anderson, Jordan Summers and Carsen Berreth with Camacho, Anderson and Summers each contributing a double.

Thielke (6IP, 5H 3ER, 1BB, 7K) took the loss for the Otters.  Cole Ziercden (1-3, RBI), Owen Krueger (1-2) and Ethan Gronwold (1-2) had the hits for the Otters.

Fergus Falls received the number three seed in the South half of Section 8AA and will host Ottertail Central at 5:00pm Tuesday in an elimination game.  The winner advances to the double elimination tournament beginning on Thursday in Perham.
