Belle Plaine , Minn. -
A nice crowd came out for “Dollar Dog Day”, and they would get their money’s worth, if not in the hot dog line, at least in length of game. Probably all you need to know about how this one turned out, is the pitch counts of the three Tiger hurlers, who went three innings each: starter Dave Kreft, 98; Ben Jass, 66; Ryan Witt, 80.
The Tigers did pluck a little bit, and had the score at 8-4 after seven. But the Bruins – I mean, Brewers – added three more in the 9 th to make a late rally all but impossible.
The sub-plot of the game was former Tiger Trace Selly against his brother and current Tiger Nick Selly, who came out of retirement just to flash his 40-inch pythons. Older brother Trace finished 1-for-6, while younger brother Nick went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, RBI-double. Plus, Nick has huge pythons. Advantage: Selly the younger.
We don’t cover the opposition much in this column, but it deserves mention that Mark Hess played a nasty third base for Jordan, and should the Carver Central hand out Gold Gloves this year, he should get one based solely on this performance. Good gracious.
Making their town team and Tiger debuts in this one were Matt Schultz, Bradley Lawson, Paul Dressen, and Eric Lyons. $20 more bucks for the kitty.
