Baseball’s Eight Hits is Not Enough to Overtake the Cobbers

MOORHEAD, Minn. - The University of Minnesota Morris took a short break from conference play to take on Concordia College - Moorhead on the road. The Cougars would fall 5-11, despite a rally attempt in the ninth inning to close out the game. 

It was Minnesota Morris that led the game early, scoring the first run in the top of the third when Trevor Haberman launched a single up the middle to bring in Ethan Schmitz. The Cougars scored their second run in the top of the fifth as Aidan Moran earned an RBI by bringing Schmitz in for his second run of the day. Leading 2-0 heading into the sixth, Minnesota Morris faced a one-two-three inning as the momentum shifted in favor of Concordia-Moorhead. The Cobbers scored their first three runs of the game in the bottom of the sixth and, after holding the Cougars to a one-two-three inning again, scored eight runs in the bottom of the seventh t0 take a commanding 11-2 lead. 

The Cougars held the Cobbers at bay as Tyler Motley came in to pitch a three batter inning in the bottom of the eighth. Schmitz scored his third run of the day in the top of the ninth to kick off a rally from Minnesota Morris. Luke McHugh brought in Schmitz, while Black Imhoff singled to bring in Haberman on the next play. James Nelson was walked, bringing in McHugh to score the Cougars' third run of the inning. Unfortunately Concordia-Moorhead would bring in a new pitcher to put a quick end to the inning and secure the 11-5 lead. 

Schmitz scored three of the Cougars' five runs on his three at-bats, earning one hit while doing it. Haberman went 2-4 on his at-bats, leading the Minnesota Morris in hits on the day. Stolen bases came from Motley, Schmitz, Haberman, and Moran to bring the offense closer to scoring.
