Lucas Sieck came on in relief but faced just four batters. I want to set the tone.”Ĭonner Maston started the sixth inning but was pulled after a walk and a single pushed him to his pitch limit. “When I do that, I have good batters behind me to get me in. So I just try to get on base,” Noun Harder said. “When I’m getting on first base, I know 90 percent of the time I’m getting second base, too. He got to third on an error and scored on a ground out to second base. The Hawks added to their lead in the sixth when Noun Harder led off with a single and stole second base. Lynnville-Sully sophomore Blake Van Wyk lays down a bunt in the fifth inning during the Hawks' 10-8 road win over Highland in the Class 1A District 10 championship game on Saturday. It’s been a part of our strategy the entire season, but it absolutely was part of the game plan tonight.” “We moved around the bases a lot today without getting hits. “We preach to the kids that when we get to these games, that’s when bunting is going to matter. We were going to make them move on the infield,” Alberts said. We felt like we were more athletic than they were. “Part of our game plan was to play some small ball. Back-to-back bunts plated Rea and the final bunt was an RBI by Van Wyk. The Hawks then used more small ball to tack on a run. In the fifth, Caleb Rea was hit by a pitch and then stole second.
He was plated after a balk by Highland starter Chase Schultz. He reached on a bunt single then stole second and third base. Noun Harder was back at it in the fourth. Highland (22-4) scored one in the second and two in the third off Maston to get within 5-3. He was removed when he hit the 110 pitch-count limit. I have to get one more now.”Ĭonner Maston started on the mound and pitched into the sixth inning. “I wasn’t swinging for the fence, but it all of the sudden just shot off my bat. “I saw him move the ball in the wind up so I was assuming curve ball,” Noun Harder said. It looked like he was taking a tee shot at Diamond Trail Golf Club, but it was a no-doubter over the fence in right field. In the second, L-S went up 5-0 and the big hit was a three-run homer by Noun Harder.
Maston’s curve ball has become a huge out pitch for the youngster and he had Highland batters either not swinging at all or swinging well out in front of it. Lynnville-Sully junior Caleb Rea, left, jumps back to first base on a potential pick off attempt by Highland on Saturday during the Class 1A District 10 championship game. It’s a nasty pitch, and we are happy he’s on our side.” “He was huge for us, but he’s been pitching to his older brother his entire life so what’s the big deal, right?” Alberts said. Maston got out of a jam with back-to-back strikeouts in the sixth inning and then finished off a Hawk win with consecutive strikeouts in the seventh as third-seeded Lynnville-Sully claimed the Class 1A District 10 championship with a 10-8 road victory over second-seeded Highland. L-S head baseball coach Scott Alberts trusts all of his pitchers and Maston showed exactly why he’s ready for almost any scenario on Saturday. RIVERSIDE - Lynnville-Sully freshman Carson Maston has been put into some pretty high-leverage situations this season.
