After dropping a heartbreaker on the road in a walk-off on Tuesday night, it was finally time for the home opener for the Macks (1-1, 1-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference), who came out of the gate strong against the Orioles (1-3, 1-1 WCC), plating 4 runs in the bottom of the first.
Backed by a sparkling starting pitching performance and some slick fielding despite the rain, McDonell continued to extend their lead throughout the contest, eventually ending the game early in run-rule fashion.
Junior pitcher Cael Holm walked the leadoff batter in the first and then settled into a strong performance, striking out five. Senior left fielder Alan Meinen led the team with two RBI.
