Prairie Fire doubleheader sweeps Scots
Excerpt from the Register-Mail:
In his seventh at-bat of Sunday’s doubleheader, Joey Graeff still didn’t have a hit.
Now here he was in the bottom of the eighth, game tied, go-ahead runner on second. The Knox College left fielder wanted to poke the ball to the opposite field, but then he fell behind in the count.“I got two strikes and I just tried to shorten up and put it in play,” Graeff said. “He threw me one inside and I just got the bat on it and it fell for me.”
Graeff’s RBI single provided the winning run in game two as Knox baseball swept Monmouth 3-2 and 5-4 on Sunday.
The Prairie Fire improved to 6-19 overall and 3-3 in the Midwest Conference. The Fighting Scots fell to 5-17 and 4-4 in the MWC.
