North Nodaway’s baseball team rallied last Tuesday behind the bat of Karson Oberhauser and the arm of Cody Cline to beat DeKalb 7-6 in eight innings and get their first win of the year.
The Mustangs went into the top of the seventh trailing 4-1, but with one out, Darron Bix got hit by a pitch to start the rally. Later, Andrew Blackford walked to force in Bix to make it 4-2, and then Karson Oberhauser singled in two to tie it up at 4-4.
DeKalb had a chance to win it in their half of the seventh as they got a stolen base and the Mustangs threw it into the outfield. But center fielder Cody Cline recovered and gunned down the winning run at the plate to preserve the 4-4 tie.
North Nodaway scored three more runs in the eighth inning to go up 7-4, and Karson Oberhauser provided the big blow in that inning as well, bringing in two runs as he had four RBI’s in the seventh and eighth innings.
DeKalb put on a frantic rally as they came to within 7-6 and had a runner on second with one out. But then pitcher Andrew Phillips got a strikeout and the Mustangs turned a double play as catcher Aydan Blackford threw a strike to third baseman Brice Trimble to retire the runner trying to steal third to end the game.
Coach Cody Jenkins said the difference was timely hitting and baserunning up and down the lineup.
