The Mudsock baseball series is bringing out something extra in the Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers teams.
It’s certainly bringing out extra innings. For the second night in a row, the Royals and the Tigers needed more than the regulation seven innings to settle a game. This time it was eight innings, as Southeastern scored in the top of the eighth to get a 4-3 win at the Fishers field.
The Tigers scored first, with two runs in the bottom of the third inning. Jack Brown sent Joey Brenczewski home with a center field hit for the first run. Matt Bryant came in to run for Jack Brown, and he was sent home by Caulin Brown’s left field double.
The Royals got a run back in the top of the fourth inning after Cole Earlewine scored when John McCall reached on error. Fishers scored again in the fifth inning; Jack Braun’s right field hit sent Bryant home for his second run of the game.
After that, HSE scored one run in each of the next three innings. Landon Riekhof singled in Hunter Dilts in the sixth inning. Dilts stepped up in the seventh, doubling in Jason Dettman to tie the game at 3-3.
The Royals began the eighth inning with back-to-back singles. McCall led off with a center field hit, after which Dettman came in to run for him. Dettman moved to second on Riekhof’s center field single. Then after absorbing two strikeouts, Payton Hilfiker singled into right field to send Dettman home.
Fishers threatened in the bottom of the eighth when Carson Dunn hit a two-out double. But McCall threw a strikeout for the third out to finish the game. McCall got the pitching win, striking out three in five and a third innings and allowing only four hits. Dilts had two doubles, with Riekhof getting two hits as well.
Caulin Brown had two doubles for the night, with Braun and Dunn each getting two hits. Jack Brown pitched six innings, striking out seven.
Both Southeastern and Fishers are 3-5 in Hoosier Crossroads Conference play. The Royals are 8-9-1 while the Tigers are 11-8. The two teams will meet at 6 p.m. tonight at HSE’s Ken Seitz Field to compete the series, with the winner getting the Mudsock trophy.
