The victory gave the series championship to the Reds as they dominated the Grays throughout the series This year the world series rosters were created when the captain’s drafted teams.

Team captains were Grant Kukuk, Zach Paquette, and RJ Bush. The Fall World Series wrapped up the successful fall season. Winter conditioning will start up on Monday, December Sth for those athletes not involved in a winter sport.

Both the Grays and the Reds scored early as both teams combined for 6 runs over the first two innings. Daniel Hickox­Young was the starting pitcher for the Reds, and Grant Kukuk was the starting pitcher for the Grays. Justin Watland provided some good middle relief and was able to pick up the win for the Reds. Senior right hander Austin Smith came on in the 7th inning and got the save.

The Grays, down 6 – 5 going into the 7″‘ inning, made it interesting by loading the bases with 2 outs. Freshman outfielder Tristan Buggs then flew out to left field to end the game. Freshman shortstop Garrett Taylor also had an impressive day by getting 2 hits and driving in 2 runs. Other exceptional performances were turned in by Graham Macmillan and Jake Clark who both had 2 hits each for the Grays. The Series will continue tomorrow in Game 5. R.J. Bush and Vinnie Koei have been named the starting pitchers for their respective teams.

Facing an 8-5 deficit going into the bottom of the 7th inning, the Gray team showed some heart by answering back. Austin Atkerson led off the inning by hitting a single to right center field. Max Keller then hit a double to deep left field that scored Atkerson. Jake Clark then singled in Max Keller bringing the score to 8-7. The Reds had Adam Leinen on the mound and he had reached his 60 pitch limit. Freshman Drew Winkelmaier then was brought in from the bullpen. Orlando Lorang drew a walk and then Drake Boucher hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game up at 8-8. Zach Paquette then laced the game winning hit to left field that scored Orlando Lorang for the victory. For their performances, Zach Paquette and Austin Atkerson were named the game’s Move Valuable Players.

However, Jake Clark walked and Grant Kukuk laced a double to set the table to tie up the game. Austin Atkerson hit a deep sacrifice fly to right field scoring Clark. Kukuk then was awarded home plate as Michael Reideman’s throw ended up in the home dugout. The Reds then answered this rally by scoring the run in the top of the 8th inning when Hillson drove in Wallace. Connor Bush then came on to pitch the bottom of the 8th inning and get the save for the Reds. Connor Bush had a productive day at the plate with a perfectly executed hit and run and an RBI double. He also retired all three Gray batters in the 8th to get the save. For his efforts, Connor Bush was also named the Game MVP. Game two is set for Friday at Noon.

Congrats to last year’s team. And good luck to the addition of future zone and state signs.  Congrats Huskies!
