Alex Volckmann lead the Morrison Mustangs by hitting 2 doubles, collecting 6 RBIs and stealing two bases to a 16-4 thumping of the Newman Comets on Tuesday , April 30, 2013. The Newman Comets jumped out to a quick first inning lead with a bases loaded single and scored two, but the Mustangs scored four runs on only two hits and some Newman mental errors to reclaim the lead and Alex Fischbach took the mound and quieted the Comets for the next three innings as the Mustangs collected 12 more runs to end the game by the mercy-rule in the fifth inning.
Eleven of the sixteen runs were driven in by three hitters as Volckmann drove in six, Fischbach went 2 for 3 with a triple and drove in three runs and Kolin Burn went two for three and pushed across two runs.
Alex Fischbach pitched the five innings to gain the win and gave up seven hits including a fifth inning home run, but kept the Comets off balance all evening to gain the conference win.
Newman 2-0-0-0-2 =4
