Tanner Smith (4-2), Hayden Matson, Corey Janssen and Austin Jones
combined on a two-hitter for Wal-Mart. Besides two innings on the
mound where he allowed no runs, Matson starred at the plate also,
reaching base and scoring all three times he batted. He had two hits
and two RBIs as well. Jones had two hits and three RBIs. Smith,
Janssen, Luke Donath and Zach Schleder also had hits. Jake Olson
scored two runs for Wal-Mart.
Hartsburg fought off a tough Leake Antennae team 7-3 in the other
semifinal game, played in Hartsburg. Leake had defeated Mount
Pulaski 12-5 earlier in the evening at the Rec Center in Lincoln
behind the pitching of Austin Kirby and Will Conrady (completing a
game begun the night before and halted by rain). Leake Antennae is
to be commended for a good season and a strong finish to put them in
third place.
The championship game of the 13-14-year-old baseball tournament
will be played Friday evening at 6.
