Kyle Froehlich threw a one hitter to carry the Muenster Midget AAA Red Sox to a 5-2 win over the Saskatoon Giants on June 21 in Muenster.
Froehlich picked up the win on the mound for the Red Sox after pitching 6.1 innings of one hit, four walk ball, giving up two runs, both earned, striking out nine.
Nicholas Silcox came on in relief of Froehlich and gave up one hit and two walks, registering no outs before turning the ball over to Drew Bauml who quickly recorded the final two outs to register the save.
While Froehlich was busy leading the charge on the mound for the Red Sox, their offense was enjoying a by committee approach at the plate, as five hitters each picked up a run batted in.
The quintet of Chris Major, Matthew McGrath, Rylan Elmy, Aaron Aquino, and Carter Burkart combined to drive in five runs, while hitting 5-for-15 with two runs scored.
After the first inning saw the teams go scoreless, the Red Sox took the lead in the second as they scored three times to take a 3-0 lead.
The Giants clawed back with a run in the top of the third, but two more Red Sox runs in the bottom of the fifth was the final blow, as the Giants managed just one run in the seventh to lose 5-2.
With the win the Red Sox improve to 8-12 on the season, good enough for sixth in league standings.
The Red Sox, who have played between two and five games more than any other team in the league, will enjoy a lengthy break as they do not return to the field until July 3 when they play host to the Giants once again.
