Menahga had scored four times in the fourth inning to tie the game.  “The fourth got a little tough for us, but ultimately, we were able to close the inning out and get back on track,” said OTC Head Coach Ryan Hendrickson.

Link (3IP, 0H, 0R, 1K, 0BB) earned his first win as a Bulldog.  He came on in relief of Lane Dilly (4IP, 4H, 4R, 4K), who was the starting pitcher for OTC.  “Congratulations to Noah,” said Coach Dakota Aeling.  “He has come on in relief this year in a couple really tough spots and has done a fantastic job.”

Coach Hendrickson commented on Dilly’s performance, saying, “Lane was a true bulldog on the mound.  He battled through long counts and a couple errors behind him.  He kept pounding the strike zone and put us in a spot to get things done.”

Isaiah Usher (5IP, 9H, 5R, 5K, 1BB) took the loss for the Braves. They were led at the plate by Brayden Aho (3-4, RBI, R).

Offensive leaders for OTC were Tyson Misegades and Jayden Harig with 3 hits apiece.  The Bulldogs had a total of 11 hits on the day.
