Dalton Chandler (2-for-4, R, 2B, 3B, 3 RBI, SB) had a monster debut for the Waterloo Bucks (13-4) to spark a 7-3 win over the Duluth Huskies (5-12) on Thursday afternoon, the Bucks’ fourth straight win.<\/p>\n
Cameron Repetti earned the win with 5.0 innings of six-hit, three-walk baseball while striking out two. The righthander managed to work around some high-traffic innings by inducing weak contact at a 44.4% clip, showing a gutsy effort despite not having his sharpest stuff.<\/p>\n
The Bucks opened the scoring in the first as Chris Seng (1-for-4, R, RBI, 2 SB) was hit by a pitch, raced to second on a wild pitch, then drew a wild throw as he stole third that allowed him to score as the ball sailed into left.<\/p>\n
Duluth struck back with a pair of runs in the second. Reuben Church (2-for-4, R, RBI) singled to begin the home half followed by a Daniel Irisarri (0-for-2, 2 BB, R) walk. Two batters later Ryan McNally (0-for-2, 2 BB, R, RBI) drew a walk to fill the bases, then Chandler laced a three-run triple on the seventh pitch of his first Bucks at-bat to give Waterloo the lead right back at 4-2.<\/p>\n
Chandler led off the fourth with a double ripped down the left field line, stole third then crossed home on a Seng RBI single lined back up the middle.<\/p>\n
Waterloo plated two more in the seventh as Gabe Garcia (1-for-4, BB, R) and Max Jung-Goldberg (1-for-4, BB, R) drew back-to-back walks ahead of a Church RBI single lifted into right-center. Irisarri took ball four to fill the bases, McNally drew another free pass to make it 7-3 Bucks.<\/p>\n
Logan Jones (1.0 IP, H, 0 ER, BB, K), Simon Graf (2.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K) and Camren Landry (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, K) closed things out with a combined 4.0 frames of brilliant relief.<\/p>\n
The Bucks and Huskies close out their series on Friday evening at 6:35 p.m. CST at Riverfront Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
