Reeths-Puffer cruised to a pair of O-K Green Conference wins against Muskegon Tuesday by mercy rule, 16-1 and 15-0.
The
Rocket bats were sizzling throughout the day. In game one, Brendan
Guikema got three hits, and Hank Mitchelson, Jack Yonkman and Jaxon Lee
each had two. Both of Mitchelson's hits were doubles, and Lee, Yonkman
and Guikema each doubled once. Lee drove in three runs with Mitchelson
plating two. Paul Smith struck out eight and allowed only one hit and an
unearned run in three innings.
R-P (3-1, 2-0 O-K Green)
didn't slow down in game two, scoring 11 times in the second inning. A
RBI triple by Yonkman got things started, and a parade of walks and
singles followed.
Ethan Frang went 3-for-3 in game two, and
Tyler Sykes drove in a pair of runs. Sykes and Brayden Meuwenberg split
the game on the mound, allowing only one hit between them and combining
for seven strikeouts without a walk.
