Camden Mossburg Fans 15 in Pattonsburg’s First Win

Pattonsburg had been reeling following the breakup of its cooperative with Gilman City. They fell 13-0 in a non-competitive game with Gallatin. They played a full game, but lost 8-2 to Polo. They couldn’t buy a run against Braymer as they lost 2-0. But they finally came through against Stanberry as Camden Mossburg carried the Panthers on his shoulders, fanning 15 Stanberry batters  and picking off three more before running out of pitches with two outs to go. Collin Mason managed to finish off the game to preserve the 5-1 win.

The Panthers manufactured a run in the top of the first as Reagan Coin reached on an error. Aden Woodward grounded out and Coin made it all the way from first to third. Drake Sperry grounded out to score Coin to make it 1-0.

Sam Simbro tried to answer for Stanberry in its half of the first, getting a single, but Mossburg promptly picked him off.

A costly miscue handed Pattonsburg some more runs in the third. With one out, Brayden Watkins reached on a dropped third strike after the ball got away from the catcher, allowing Pattonsburg to turn the lineup over. Watkins stole second. Reagan Coin grounded out as Watkins took third. Aden Woodward walked to keep the inning alive and then Watkins successfully stole home to make it 2-0 as Woodward took second on defensive indifference. Drake Sperry singled to score Woodward to make it 3-0 and took second on the throw home. Mossburg singled to score Sperry to make it 4-0.

Jaxon Baker walked to start the Stanberry third, but Mossburg got his second pickoff to erase him.

Collin Mason doubled to center to start the Pattonsburg fourth. Jeremy Pittsenbarger reached on a dropped third strike as Mason took third. Pittsenbarger advanced to second on defensive indifference. Reagan Coin walked. Drake Sperry singled to make it 5-0.

Mossburg got his third pickoff in the Stanberry sixth to erase a Panther error.

Luke Phipps greeted Collin Mason with a base hit to score Vincent Smithson after Mossburg had run out of pitches. But Mossburg got a groundout and a strikeout to close out the game.
