Drove in go-ahead run in 6th inning
Jonathan Ellis hurled a complete game to pace the Tigers to a 4-2 Missota Conference win over Chanhassen Tuesday, May 17, at Tiger Field. Ellis scattered eight hits, struck out three and didn't walk a batter.
"He pitched a great game," coach Mike Winters said of Ellis' second win in his last three starts. "He did a good job of keeping the ball around the plate."
John Stibal's rbi single in the first gave the home team a quick 1-0 lead before the Storm scored its two runs in the top of the third.
Farmington won the game in the bottom of the sixth when Sebren Baer led off with a triple and Zak Payne stroked a single to tie the count. Dayne Eich singled in the go-ahead run and Spencer Merle knocked in an insurance score for the final margin of victory.
Eich, Payne and Merle accounted for six of Farmington's 10 hits with a pair of safeties apiece. Each also drove in a run.
The Tigers (4-12) close out their Missota Conference season Thursday with a doubleheader at Red Wing.
"Hopefully we can keep this momentum going against a very good Red Wing team," Winters said.
