[April 12, 2019] 

The pitching was outstanding Tuesday afternoon with Drew Martin and Todd Kelly on the mound for Mount Pulaski at Bob Gasaway Field. Martin started the game versus Cerro Gordo and got the 10-0 win for the Hilltoppers. Martin tossed three innings of no-hit ball and struck out eight batters along the way. Todd Kelly pitched the last two innings for Mount Pulaski and he shutdown Cerro Gordo on just two hits and five strikeouts.

The Hilltoppers offense exploded for seven runs in the first inning. A lead-off single by Todd Kelly got things going right away. Drew Martin wasted no time slugging a triple to score Kelly. Logan DeRight came through with an RBI single to score Martin. Ben Fricke added an RBI double to score DeRight. Still with no outs in the inning, Tanner Farris came up clutch with an RBI single. A fielder's choice by Grant Davis just kept adding to the lead. Mount Pulaski got a couple breaks with a dropped third strike and an error that led to more runs.

By the time Cerro Gordo recorded three outs, Mount Pulaski already had a 7-0 lead for Martin on the mound.

The Hilltoppers added two runs in the bottom of the second inning. DeRight led off the inning with a double and he came around to score on Fricke's base hit. Farris added another RBI single and the Hilltoppers were cruising 9-0 early. With Martin mowing 'em down from the mound, Mount Pulaski had little worries in this one.

The Hilltoppers added a run in the fifth inning for fun. A fielder's choice by Kelly scored Ian Schneider and the final was set in stone, 10-0 in five innings.

Martin gets win and Mount Pulaski improves to 7-2 on the season.
