The game was scoreless until the top of the sixth inning when
Mount Pulaski scored their only run of the game. Brett Huff and
Michael Lowery walked and Huff came around to score on a base
hit to right field by Matt Amidon. Blake Collier retired the
side quickly in the bottom of the sixth inning and it looked
like the senior was dealing from the mound.
But it was senior night for the Panthers and in the bottom of
the seventh inning the first batter reached on an error and
advanced to second on a perfect sacrifice bunt. The next batter
hit the ball to deep short and Lowery fielded the ball cleanly
but the runner just beat it out at first. Senior Mitchell Carr
followed that up with a smash to right field that rolled under
the fielder's glove and the two base runners came racing home
for the 2-1 Panthers victory.
A tough loss for the Toppers who have their own senior night
Friday versus the Warrensburg-Latham Cardinals at Bob Gasaway
Field.
The Toppers record falls to 13-11, while Delavan's record sits
at 9-11 on the season.
