The Elk Mound Millers 17U American Legion Baseball team traveled to Plum City to take on Post 365 Saturday afternoon at Plum City’s Legion Park on July 17th.
In a game that started out as a Pitcher’s duel, the Millers broke a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the third when Ian Gerrits led off the inning with a walk and stole second. Two batters later, Brian Tuschl, Jr. lined a two-out single to center field to scored what would be the Millers lone run of the game. Plum City tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, scoring an unearned run on a two out base hit to right field. They followed with two more unearned runs in the fifth and another unearned run in the sixth to take a 4-1 lead. That lead stood up in the bottom of the seventh as the Millers failed to have a runner reach base.
Jamison Flatland took the loss, while scattering six hits over six innings. He struck out 10 Post 365 batters and issued five walks. He gave up four runs, though none of those runs were earned. “Jamison pitched well enough to win”, said Coach Don Stuckert. “Give Plum City credit. We had some untimely miscues behind him and they took advantage of them to plate their runs”, added Stuckert.
The Millers return to action on Monday, July 26th when they travel to Prescott in their final game of the season.
