Waterloo, IA – The Waterloo Bucks were bested by the first-place Duluth Huskies in a close final home game in 2024, as the visiting Huskies survived, 8-7.<\/p>\n

Duluth got on top of the first inning with two runs on a Charlie Sutherland double and a Joe Vos sacrifice bunt. Duluth scored their next four runs in the top of the third inning to head into the bottom of the inning with a 6-1 lead over Waterloo.<\/p>\n

The Bucks and Christian Smith (Illinois) answer with one of their runs in the second inning on a single to dead center field, then tack on another in the bottom of the third with a sacrifice fielder choice from Cole Smith (Southeastern CC).<\/p>\n

Both teams exchanged blows in the fifth frame with one from Cal Elvis for the Huskies and a Lucas Moore (Lousiville) RBI Triple scoring Ricky Requejo (USAO), and the score was set at 7-4.<\/p>\n

After the seventh inning stretch, the Bucks bats kept grinding at-bats and scored two runs in walked counts and it’s a one-run game going into the eighth inning.<\/p>\n

Cardell Thibodeaux started the inning with a lead-off solo shot to dead center field, the deepest part of the yard, to make it a two-run lead for the Huskies.<\/p>\n

Waterloo would head into the ninth inning, and the bases were empty with two outs. The Bucks bats kept fighting forward. With two runners on, Danny Gavin (Gustavus Adolphus) smoked a laser single into left field scoring Christian Smith making it a one-run game. After a pitching change, the Huskies only needed one pitch to end the game and sweep the Bucks.<\/p>\n

Waterloo starts their six-game road stretch tomorrow with the first game coming at the La Crosse Loggers, with the first pitch set for 6:35 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
