Blake Collier would have two hits on the day, the other one a
triple.
The Toppers trailed the Ducks 2-1 early in the game with Blake
Collier on the mound. Collier would give up four more runs
before exiting the mound with the score 6-2 in favor of Havana
after five innings. Beau Collier's two-run single in the bottom
of the sixth inning kept the Toppers hopes alive as Mount
Pulaski mounted a small comeback and made the score 7-5.
However, as the rain continued to fall, the temperature dropped
and the Ducks bats came alive again. Havana put five runs on the
board in the seventh inning off Mt. Pulaski's Caleb Przykopanksi
and that sealed the 12-5 victory for the visitors.
Beau Collier and Brayden Curry also had two hits for Mount
Pulaski, while Brett Huff and Matthew Amidon each had one hit.
Michael Lowery had two runs scored for the Toppers.
The Toppers travel to Jacksonville to take on Ottawa Marquette
at 5 p.m. tonight at Lenz Field.
