Varsity Dutchmen split doubleheader

The Manchester Flying Dutchmen varsity baseball team, coached by Nick Niehaus, split a doubleheader against Adrian Madison last Monday, May 21.

Sophomore Jacob Messman pitched well the first game with zero earned runs, but unfortunately didn’t have his team backing him up. Five errors in the field caused the Dutch to lose this game, 3-7. Senior Brayden Hayes hit a double, scoring two runs, and senior Elijah Herron had two hits for the Dutch. 

Game two was won 7-6, with Hayes pitching nine strike outs and one earned run. Freshman Brady McGuigan hit a triple, two singles by Junior Riley McGuigan, and hits by seniors Josh Bunn and Tommy Tremblay led the Dutchmen to victory.

Manchester will face Napoleon for district play at home on Tuesday May 28, with game starting at 3:30 pm.
