Freshman Fred Weiss brings clutch hits for game-winners in sweep against Gustavus
During the first game of the series the Cobbers used homers to get past the Gusties in a 6-4 win. In the bottom of the seventh, first-year player Fred Weiss came in to pinch hit and belted the game-winning homcrun for two RBIs. Earlier in the game the Cobbers received two homers from sen- ior shortstop Ryan Hebrink for a total of three RBIs. Senior Jeremy Hinderks pitched in the winning giving up seven hits and just one earned run. In game two the Cobbers were up 6-0 by the end of the sec- ond inning and were looking to cruise to victory but the Gusties came back with five L- J runs in the top of the fourth.
