Purdy Fall Classic Champions

We beat Wheaton on Friday night to earn a 1st place finish in our Fall Classic. We played well the entire week, in winning 5 games in a week. But the final game was the icing on the cake. We beat Wheaton in 6 innings 10-0. Riley Veith pitched as well as he can and the result was obvious of that. He allowed 1 hit, 1 BB, while striking out 9. Both the walk and hit was erased by a pick off and caught stealing to allow Riley to face the minimum of 18 hitters in 6 innings. Austin Hancock continued to hit since being inserted in the lineup. He was 3-3 with 2 infield singles and 2 runs scored. Riley added 2 hits of his own and Devon Bennett added 3 RBI's. In the last 6 games(Since the Wednesday game vs Spokane at Crane), our pitchers have only allowed 8 hits and 7 runs. This gives us the opportunity to win on any given night. Our pitching staff has consistently dominated the opponent most of the year. We have a team ERA of 2.14 and an opponent average of .121. We have given up 28 hits in 67 innings pitched. I also don't want to forget about our defense. We had no errors on Friday night, and have only had 14 total on the year. We now turn to one of the toughest parts of our schedule taking our 11-0 record on the road tonight to face Billings at 5.
