Sturgis extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 13 on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 0-9 in the process. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 10-0 to the Otsego Bulldogs, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
As for Otsego, they now have a winning record of 6-5. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for they considering their two-run performance the match before.
For Otsego's part, Karl Hildebrand made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Hildebrand also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Otsego is 3-1 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 3-4 otherwise. Hildebrand was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one triple and two RBI. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Jaxon Ray and Brennan Perry did most of the damage at the plate: Ray got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three RBI and two runs, while Perry went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Otsego is undefeated when Ray posts two or more runs, but 3-5 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Peyton Koenig, who went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one double.
While Sturgis had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
