Jackson Norum worked a leadoff walk, then moved up to third on a Sam Harry single. One batter later, Matt McDonald chopped a bounding ball to the outfield to bring Norum in to put the Honkers ahead 1-0. Next up, Jackson Glueck ripped a single to right to plate Harry to grow the lead to 2-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the bottom of the third inning, Waterloo answered back. Mycah Jordan singled with one out, then moved up to second on a wild pitch. After tagging to third, Jordan scored on a Zach Davis infield single to chisel the lead to 2-1. After Davis moved to second on a wild pitch, Caleb Parker laced a single up the middle to score Davis and even the tally, 2-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the bottom of the fourth, the Bucks took the lead on a Dane Most solo shot to left to launch Waterloo on top 3-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the top of the fifth, the Honkers responded. Harry reached on a fielder\u2019s choice, then stole second before Glueck roped a single to center to bring Harry home to level the score 3-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the last of the fifth, Waterloo took the lead for good. Jordan led off with a longball to left to spring the Bucks in front, 4-3. With one out, Davis singled before Parker reached on an error and MJ Sweeney walked. With the bases loaded, Most smacked a single to left to bring in a pair to extend the advantage to 6-3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waterloo later added four more runs to their total, two of which came on a Sweeney opposite field two-run home run to left as the Bucks ran away late to take game one 10-3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the win, Waterloo goes to 14-19 on the season and 2-5 against the Honkers. The Bucks go for the sweep of Rochester in the final game of the first half of the 2026 season Monday night at 6:35 pm. Chris Petersen is set to start for Waterloo opposite Riley Leatherman of the Honkers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/baseball\/game\/?id=6052 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waterloo, IA &#8211;\u00a0 The Bucks mash three home runs off the bat of Dane Most, Mycah Jordan, and MJ Sweeney  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":19899,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
