Thursday, May 20, the Buffalo baseball team hosted Rogers at Bentfield Mills for one of their last season games. Buffalo won 5 – 3 by the top of the 7th inning.
Throughout the game, Senior Aaron Duske pitched a total of 91 pitches only allowing two walks. Five hits were earned for Rogers off of Duske but in return the Bison got nine.
“It was a relief because we’ve lost a lot of one-run games this year,” said Senior Josh Gaughan. “It felt good to come out on top this time.”
Freshman Ethan Freer was the second baseman and he went 2 for 3 in hitting like teammate Junior Brett Renshaw. Duske and Renshaw both had doubles to aid to the Bison’s win. Freer made a hard dive to get the final out during the top of the seventh inning securing the team’s win.
Senior Tucker Vogt hit a single to get the game winning run at the bottom of the seventh inning. “We’re kind of getting hot right now,” said Vogt. “I think we could make a run at sections.”
The team is currently 6-14 with its record. Monday, May 24th is the last season game away at Concordia and section play-offs starts Thursday, May 27th.
