Saturday against Prescott, Logan Von Berge allowed just one hit in seven innings on the mound and the Rats scored all the runs they would need in a three-run second inning in a 6-1 win over the Pirates.
Eli Ramthun got things started with a one-out double in the second and scored on a base hit by Kyler Hove. Hove stole second and scored on a Mitch Lewis single and Lewis went to third on a base hit by Jack Solheid before scoring on a wild pitch.
Three straight singles by Payton Lawrence, Landon Zeuli and Owen Anderson made it a 4-0 game in the fifth before the Rats added two more runs in the seventh on an RBI base hit by Owen Weadge and a bases-loaded hit by pitch to Ramthun.
Weadge pitched the final two innings and gave up one unearned run on one hit with six strikeouts and two walks. Anderson, Zeuli and Ramthun recorded two hits each.
Sunday against Bay City, Brody VonBerge held the Bombers to just one hit in six scoreless innings and four different River Rats had multiple RBI in a 14-1, seven-inning mercy-rule victory. Hudson scored in five of their six innings at the plate, including four runs in the first, three in the third and five in the fifth.
Anderson, Solheid, Ramthun, Weadge and Hove drove in two runs apiece, while Anderson, Solheid, Zeuli, and Mattern had two hits each. Ramthun, Anderson, Hove and Jason Hollar all doubled in the win, with Ramthun’s two-bagger driving in a pair of runs in the third and Anderson doubling in two runs in the fifth.
Aaron Schwechler struck out two and didn’t give up a hit in one inning of relief but allowed one run on three walks and a wild pitch.
