Whitehall had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Melrose-Mindoro on Friday. The Norse were the clear victors by a 12-3 margin over the Mustangs. The win was nothing new for the Norse as they're now sitting on six straight.
Luke Matejka spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on two hits.
At the plate, Whitehall let Alex Sartor and Mason Pientok run wild. Sartor went 2-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base, while Pientok got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and two RBI. Riley Herman was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one home run.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Whitehall lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
Whitehall pushed their record up to 8-5 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of three runs across that stretch. As for Melrose-Mindoro, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-5.
Whitehall wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, a 12-3 win against Arcadia on the 17th.
