MOELLER 8   ELDER  7

The Moeller Freshman Baseball Team opened GCL league play against the Elder Panthers in a game dedicated to the memory of Mike Bell, a very special young man to Moeller High School and Coach Roth.  Coming from being down 2-0 in the top of the 1^st inning, the Frosh rose to the occasion, knocking the Panthers on their heals in the bottom of the 1^st inning. 



Jordan Marshall and Ethan Page led off the inning with walks.  David Hagen singled to score Marshall.  Ryan Land followed with a line drive single to score Page and Hagen to put the Crusaders up 3-2.  Kaden Snodgrass singled and Forrest Day walked to load the bases.   Will McCullough singled down the left field line to collect 2 rbis when Land and Snodgrass crossed to plate.  McCullough scored Moeller’s 7^th run of the inning on Marshall’s base hit.  Moeller sent 12 batters to the plate in the inning. 

Moeller scored their 8^th run in the 2^nd inning when Ryan Land banged out his second hit of the game.   JJ Miller pinch ran for Land and scored on Will McCullough’s 3^rd rbi of the game.   Ethan Page started the game on the mound allowing 3 runs, 1 of which was earned, 5 hits, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts, to pick up the win.   David Hagen tossed the next 3 innings allowing the Panthers only 1 walk and striking out 3 batters.   Sam Scuglik and Evan Scott closed out the pitching with Scott picking up the save.   The Moeller Freshman record goes to 2-1 and 1-0 in the GCL.
