HOLLAND PATENT – The 1-1 tie slipped away from the Marauders in the bottom of the fifth inning when the host Holland Patent Golden Knights scored one run in the frame. Holland Patent added one more run in the sixth to secure the 3-1 win over Sherburne-Earlville.
The Golden Knight starter on the hill was Jake Beer and he had everything working in his favor.
As best described by Sherburne-Earlville’s head coach Jay Tackabury, Beer was zoned in on his spots, making him effective and tough for the Marauders to record a hit.
“[Beer]’s curveball kept us off-balance. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the opposing pitcher. Tonight was one of those nights,” said Tackabury.
Beer struck out 19 S-E batters and allowed just three hits in the a complete game on the mound.
Those three hits he surrendered belong to Marauders’ Gabe Irwin, Cody Beckwith, and Mitch Doing as all hit singles in the game.
Sherburne-Earlville’s lone run came in the fourth inning when Dawson Lagoe hit a sacrifice fly ball, sending Irwin home.
