Fremont, Hesperia host Saturday tourneys
Fremont 18-2 Whitehall 6-9 The top 3 hitters in the Packer lineup combined for 11 hits,11 RBIs and 9 runs scored as the team unloaded on a Viking pitching trio that had no answers for the onslaught. Whitehall posted 6 runs and scored in each of the first 4 innings but they could not keep up with a relentless Fremont offense. Jaxon Deur tossed the first 4 innings giving up 5 scores but only 2 earned runs. Michael Baden kept the Vikes at bay for the final 3 frames. Coach Foster, while happy with his team’s offense, was likely less impressed with their defense as 7 errors provided opportunities for most of the Whitehall runs. Logan Nelson crossed the plate 4 times to lead the Pack while Joey DeLong drove home 5. The nightcap was a different story for the Fremont bats. They couldn’t solve Cayden Ritchue who went the distance for the Vikes scattering 6 hits and allowing just 2 runs but once again the Packer defense helped Whitehall along as pitchers Joe Kortge and DeLong saw 6 unearned runs cross the plate for the Vikings courtesy of 4 errors. Kortge ripped a pair of doubles and drove in a run. The split puts the Packers at 17-3-1 onn the season and they will compete in their tournament Saturday beginning with a 9am matchup with the Beal City Aggies.
