Leading hitters were Logan Larson (2-3, 2B, R) and Evan Lindgren (2-4, R, SB). Owen Kreuger, Ben Swanson, and Colin Becker all had a hit apiece. 

Moorhead started the game hot with the first three batters reaching base off singles and an outfield fielding error to make it 2-0. Fronning settled in striking out the next two batters, and inducing a ground ball to get out of the inning. Post 30 would threaten in the bottom of the first inning, loading the bases with two down but not being able to push across any runs. 

The game would remain 2-0 into the bottom of the 4th inning when Post 30 played small ball to get the momentum and game back in their favor. Evan Lindgren led off with an infield single, Logan Larson placed a bunt down the 3rd baseline perfectly for a hit, and Ben Swanson singled to center to load the bases with nobody out. Ethan Gronwold hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score Lindgren from 3rd. Krueger followed in an infield single, and Brock Scheurman walked to load the bases again. A wild pitch allowed Swanson to score and give Post 30 a 3-2 lead. Colin Becker laid down a great bunt down the 3rd baseline for a hit and to score a run to make it 4-2 in favor of Fergus Falls. 

Moorhead would threaten in the top of the 7th but Fronning did a great job of slamming the door and not letting them get the big hit to bring the game closer. 

“We received great pitching again today,” commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Trevor Larson. “Fronning did a good job of settling down after the first inning and kept the hitters off balance with a nice mix of his fastball and breaking pitches. Our defense booted a few balls, but Fronning picked up his defense and provided them more opportunities to make plays. Offensively, we were better once we started playing small ball. The boys had some great bunts which led to our big inning. 

Post 30 plays for the consolation championship Sunday at 12:30 in Casselton.
