Sixers fall in tourney

 

By Journal staff
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - The Stevens Point Post 6 American Legion baseball team returned to town wondering about what might have been.

For the second time in the Bloomington (Minn.) Tournament, the Sixers dropped a close game in nine innings this time falling to Austin (Minn.) 4-3 on Sunday.

The loss leaves Stevens Point a 2-3 record and an early bus ride home. Post 6 finished the tournament with a 2-2 record.

"Both our losses were in extra innings," said Sixers manager Brad Wysocki. "We could've had both of those games, but things didn't fall right for us."
Brandon Eckendorf was the losing pitcher in relief of starter Justin Pezew-ski. Eckendorf gave up an unearned run on four hits in five innings of work. He walked one and fanned four.

Stevens Point had a chance to pull the game out in the bottom of the ninth, but had a runner thrown out at the plate for the second out of the inning.

Nate Domaszek and Jeff Herzog each collected three hits four Post 6, with Domaszek picking up a pair of doubles. Randy Printz went 2-for-4, with a double and RBI.

"Like most wood bat tournaments, it came down to pitching and defense," said Wysocki.

"And we didn't get the bats going when we needed to."
