Garretson's Blue Dragon Baseball ended their regular season last Thursday on a loss to Beresford/Alcester/Hudson's Black Sox. Earlier that week, the team had traveled to Salem to face the MCM Burros with the same results, a frustrating end to a season that had searched for a win.
Against the Burros on Tuesday, the Dragons opened the field with Carsten Roozeboom doubling at the bottom of the second inning, sending Treyton Decker over home plate. Cole Jessen ended Blue Dragon scoring at the bottom of the fourth, when he scored on a wild pitch.
Caiden Maack was first to take the mound for the Dragons, striking out two, allowing five hits, and walking three. Jessen pitched relief after two innings, striking out six, allowing five hits, and walking three. The game ended 2-5 in favor of the Burros.
On Thursday, the Dragons hosted the Black Sox, and started the game up two when Ian Buettner and Dylan Wolf both scored at the bottom of the 1st inning. They held onto that lead until the top of the fifth, when the Black Sox sent three over home plate.
Buettner, Wolf, and Brecken Weir were each able to sneak hits past the Mustangs, with Wolf hitting two good balls in three at bats. His first hit was a double on a line drive to right field at the bottom of the first inning.
Weir opened the game on the mound, with Buettner pitching relief. Weir struck out seven batters, walked two, and allowed three hits. Buettner struck out two, allowed one hit, and walked two. The game ended 2-4, finishing the regular season 0-11. This eliminated Garretson from post-season play, which began on Tuesday for Region 3.
