Brandt Vice provided the eventual game-winning RBI in the bottom of the sixth inning for the Falls City Blue Storm Seniors Sunday afternoon as FC defeated the EMN Nationals 2-1 at SNC Field.
Vice’s sacrifice fly to left drove in Lane Scheitel, who doubled to right-center then advanced to third via a single from Wade Witt.
Reese Hogue struck out eight, walked seven and allowed only three hits in five scoreless innings, but the no-decision. Chase Thompson recorded the win for FC and Scheitel pitched a scoreless seventh for his first save of the season.
Derek Bippes and Tyler Digiacomo had one hit apiece and Thompson scored FC’s first run on an EMN error in the fourth inning.
The Blue Storm were also scheduled to play Syracuse Sunday evening, but the game was canceled due to inclement weather.
Next up for the Blue Storm (2-0) is a trip to Wathena, KS, tomorrow for games with Doniphan County. The Juniors will play at 6 p.m., followed by the Seniors at approximately 8.
