Photos by Cassie Rickert White Cloud hosted the Morley Stanwood varsity baseball team on Tuesday Night. In Game #1, Mason Ruether started on the hill for the Indians and dominated the Mohawks by throwing a complete game, striking out 15, giving up only 4 hits, walking 1, and allowing no runs. White Cloud's offense went to work in the first inning, after a leadoff ground out, Mason Ruether smacked a long double, and scored on a single by Alex Cruzan for a 1-0 Indians lead. KJ Strait started the 3rd inning off with a single, and was followed by RBI singles from Ruether and Cruzan for a 3-0 lead. The Indians final run of the game was a long solo Home Run by Ruether, for the final score of 4-0. Mason Ruether led the offense with a single, double and a home run, along with 2 RBI's, Alex Cruzan contributed 3 singles with 2 RBI's. In the Nightcap, Morley put up 4 runs in the first inning, 1 run in the 3rd, and 3 more runs in the 4th inning, for an 8-0 lead.
White Cloud started their comeback in their half of the 4th inning by getting singles from Mason Cruzan and Christian Ringler, and an RBI groundout by Reece Hewitt to plate 2 runs, now putting the Indians down 8-2. Morley put up another 2 runs in the 5th inning to regain a 10-2 advantage. The Indians wouldn't go down easily, as singles by Mason Ruether and Alex Cruzan, and an RBI single by Mason Cruzan, would put up the first run in the 5th inning. Reece Hewitt then drove in 2 more runs with a single, before Landyn McGowen would blast a line shot 2 run homer over the left field fence, to plate the 5th run of the inning for White Cloud. The 5th inning ended with White Cloud now losing 10-7. The Mohawks were held scoreless in their half of the 6th inning, as the Indians would plate another run in the 6th as Mason Ruether started the offense off with a long double and scored on an RBI single by Alex Cruzan, now down 10-8. Again the defense held Morley scoreless in their half of the 7th, giving the Indians a chance in their half of the inning. Christain Ringler started off the inning with a single, and promptly stole 2nd base, after a strikeout, Landyn McGowen hit a high pop fly for a double to score Ringler. Jayden Robinson came to the plate and laced a single to right field to drive in McGowen with the tying run. Robinson stole 2nd base and was in scoring position with only 1 out, but 2 straight infield pop flies ended the rally with the score now tied at 10-10. Morley came to bat in the 8th inning, and after a lead off strike out, 2 straight walks and an error, followed by a single, put them ahead 13-10. After working back from several deficits in the game, the Indians were unable to mount another comeback and suffered a 13-10 loss. White Cloud's record now stands at 17-9-1, and will host Hesperia on Friday for a single game, before participating in the Newaygo County Tournament on Saturday in Fremont.
