For the second time in as many nights, Breckenridge storms back in the last inning to defeat Ashby 13-8 in 8 innings. Once again Breck used late offense in the last few frames to mount another come from behind victory. 

Gavin Snyder got the nod for Post 53 throwing 3 innings, allowing 7 runs but only 1 earned. Trey Vogelbacher relieved him, throwing 5 innings while allowing no earned runs. Post 53 had contributions from many faces on offense with multiple hits by Cam Nieto, Snyder, Joey Conzemuis, Alex Sanchez and Vogelbacher. 

We got off to a fast start scoring 3 runs in the top of the first and adding another run each in the second and third as well. It was a similar story to last night as errors allowed the opposing team to take the lead. Heading in to the top of the 7th we were down by 2 runs and with runners on 1st and 2nd when Zane Mikkelson came up with a clutch 2 out double scoring Conzemius and Sanchez. Zane has been struggling at the plate a bit but he's been putting together competitive at bats. He couldn't have broke out at a better time with that huge hit tying the game for us. In the extra inning Breckenridge bats came alive utilizing a couple walks and big hits to put 5 runs across that inning. Vogelbacher slammed the door shut in the bottom of the 8th for the win for Post 53. 

I was extremely proud of our guys to once again come from behind in the last inning and battle back to earn a win. We got contributions from 1-9 in the order today as well as some key defensive replacements who made some great plays in the field including Breckin Anderson who made some big plays in right field tonight.

Post 53 will not play Thursday due to Brooten still playing High School ball. They take their 2-0 record on the road to Frazee on Monday.
