The Mount Pulaski Baseball Team hosted Lanphier on Saturday and it
was the Hilltoppers dropping both contests to the Lions. The Lions
edged Mount Pulaski 3-2 in extra innings in game one and then
proceeded to crush the Hilltoppers 17-2 in game two.
Mount Pulaski took the lead in game one in the third inning on a
sacrifice fly by Logan DeRight that scored Garrett Fitzpatrick.
In the top of the fourth inning Lanphier took a 2-1 lead over Mount
Pulaski with Todd Kelly on the mound for the Hilltoppers.
In the bottom of the sixth inning Mount Pulaski tied the game at 2-2
after Ben Fricke hit a one-out single, stole second base and came
around to score on an error by Lanphier.
Lanphier scored the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth inning off
Logan DeRight. DeRight struck out three batters in the inning but
gave up a run on three singles.
Lanphier got Mount Pulaski batters to ground out, fly out and
strikeout for the final three outs of the ballgame. The final in
game one was 3-2.
Logan DeRight was the losing pitcher in relief. Todd Kelly pitched
seven innings, giving up just three hits and two runs, both
unearned. His seven strikeouts led all pitchers and he allowed just
three walks.
