Brandon-Evansville recorded a 7-4 victory over Mahnomen-Waubun on Monday.  The Chargers took an early lead in the first inning when Brady Perleberg connected on a two out single which was followed by a couple walks to Desmond White and Lucas Fuller.  After a passed ball scored a run, Landon Sullivan delivered a double scoring both Fuller and White giving the Chargers an early 3-0 lead.  B-E built a 7-1 lead before the Thunderbirds added some late inning runs bringing the final score to 7-4.

“We were able to throw several different pitchers today and all in all, we are very happy with the way they handled their assigned innings,” said Head Coach Brian Perleberg of Brandon-Evansville.  “Dustin Gillespie gave us two shutout innings to start the game and Lucas Fuller pitched the 3rd and 4th very effectively.  Landon Sullivan then came in and recorded five strikeouts in his two innings of work, and Desmond White came on in the 7th and put out the rally, so as a whole, they gave us all we could ask for.”

Perleberg continued, “Offensively, we are still working on a lot of things and will keep trying to figure out our roles.  While nobody had an outstanding day at the plate, everyone in the lineup did some positive things to help contribute to the situation they were in whether it was on the bases or swinging the bat.  The bottom half of the order is making progress from where we were earlier this year and most importantly, we are having fun and enjoying some nicer baseball weather.”

Brandon-Evansville (9-4) will host New York Mills on Thursday and travel to Barnesville on Friday.

B-E won the JV game 12-1.
