MUSTANGS SPLIT SATURDAY DOUBLEHEADER, EARN A 6-0 WIN OVER BOONE COUNTY – TAKE A SELF INFLICTED LOSSS TO MoCo IN THE NIGHTCAP. 

Mustangs Dispatch Boone County 6-0 in Saturday Lidlifter.  Sophomore Luke Neltner goes 5 2/3,  allows no runs, 2 hits, strikes out 5 and issues no bases on balls.  Ben Volmer got some work in pitching the final 1 1/3 innings of perfect baseball to complete the shutout.  Aidan Schultz and Isaac Amin get a pair  of hits.  Neltner helps his own cause with a 2 RBI hit.  We will be right back in action Saturday afternoon as we await Montgomery County in a 3pm contest at St. Mary.

In the 3pm Nightcap, in a scenario all too familiar with our basketball fans this season, on top 8-3 just three outs from putting this one in the win column and recording the Saturday sweep, Montgomery County rallied for five runs in the top of the 7th inning to knot the contest at 8s, and score 3 more runs to win it 11-8 in the eighth inning.  Unfortunately 3 Mustang errors contributed to 8 MoCo unearned runs.  Ben Volmer collected our first home run of the season – a two run shot to right field, plating himself and Luke Neltner.  Keegan Gulley was our starting pitcher and was admirable in 3 complete innings of work, allowing no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 3 and walking none.   We will travel to Maysville on Monday for a 6pm match with the Mason County Royals.
