Two Call Ups Get It Done On The Mound

ALLEGAN HIGH SCHOOL: 0

The Dux returned to the field on Saturday for the Family Fare Wooden Bat Tournament hosted at Zeeland West. This was the 12th year of the tournament and the 12th time that Family Fare has sponsored the event. Instead of the usual metal bats, all players in the tournament were required to use wooden bats. Using the wooden bats created a great atmosphere for baseball on a Saturday afternoon that had temperatures reaching the upper 70's.

Two players who have spent the season on the junior varsity were called up on Saturday to help give some pitching depth to the Zeeland West varsity baseball team. Sophomore, Marshal Acosta, got the start for the varsity Dux and didn't allow a single run as Zeeland West defeated Allegan 13-0 on Saturday. Acosta went three innings, allowing zero runs on two hits and striking out five. His JV teammate, Travis Vredeveld, pitched in relief to preserve the shutout as he went two innings, allowing zero runs on one hit, two walks, and two strike outs.

The Dux secured the victory thanks to eight runs in the third inning. The rally was led by triples by Collin Merryman and Max Hecht, doubles by Max Hecht and Caleb Kender, and a single by Aaron Sleeman.

The Dux racked up 15 hits.  Sleeman, Trevor Kilinski, Hecht, Connor Heckel, Dillan Guzman, and Kender each  managed multiple hits to round out the Dux offensive attack.
