Carver, Minn. - Carver scored a run in the bottom of the ninth with one out to pick up the 5-4 win over the Tigers Sunday afternoon. Dave Kreft went all nine for the Tigers, as he fell to 0-2 on the season with a 4.77 ERA. Kreft allowed three earned runs on 11 hits while striking out ten. Jonny Schulz continued to swing a hot bat as he went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored.
The Tigers take on Hamburg Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. at Tiger Park.
Herald Write Up
The Tigertown Express started out early, plating two in the first on RBI-safeties from Nate Hartmann and Jonny Schulz, both of whom easily lead the team with .438 averages. Each went 3-for-5, with an RBI, on the day.
Carver responded with one in the first, and Belle Plaine tacked on another in the 2 nd to go up 3-1, although they left a pair of men in scoring position.
Black Sox starter Mike Brokofsky was quickly dispatched, and would exit after two for reliever Ross Tichy. It was a prudent move, as the left-hander gave up only one run the rest of the game, and wound up the winning pitcher.
Throwing the Big Red’s second complete game in a row was Dave Kreft, who struck out 10 and walked nary a soul. He was, however, touched for 11 Carver hits.
Belle Plaine tied it up at four in the 8 th, when Tim Schuster alertly scored on an infield single by Ben Jass. Jass advanced to third to represent the go-ahead run, but died on the vine, a result that would cost the Tigers.
In the bottom of the ninth, consecutive one-out singles put the Tigers on the ropes. Then nine-hitter Greg Sayuk dropped a bunt which allowed the runner from third to score the winning run, on a very close play at the plate. Kreft fielded the ball, rolled over and flipped it home, but catcher Pat Schultz’s tag was somehow too late.
Meanwhile, after 15 years of driving to Carver, I again got lost on the way home. I think I need OnStar.
