On the road for their second game of the young 2024 season, the Macks (2-0 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind by an early run to the Beavers (1-2, 0-0 Dairyland Conference), who held McDonell scoreless through the first two innings.
The floodgates opened in the top of third, however, as the Macks' bats came alive, plating six runs to take a commanding lead. After a 1-2-3 bottom of the third from sophomore pitcher Karson Galvez, McDonell sent an incredible 15 batters to the plate in their half of the 4th, scoring another 12 runs to put the contest truly out of reach.
Junior David Anderson and sophomore Cael Holm also saw action on the mound in the 4th and 5th, holding Augusta scoreless and keeping the Macks unbeaten.
Chippewa Valley This Week
In the season opener for both teams Chippewa Falls(2-0) overcame a 2-0 deficit early to come from behind and win the opener 12-3 scoring four runs in each of the last two innings. First baseman Ali Geist's three-run double in the sixth made it an 8-3 and really changed the complexion of the game.
The nightcap proved to be a pitcher's duel Chi-Hi freshman, Delaney Bero, and Eau Claire North(0-2) junior, Ally Quaschnick, before Cardinals junior, Delany Berg, entered in the 7th to get the final two outs. Ali Geist again provided the big stick for the Cards with a two run homer.
