Boone County broke open a 4-4 game in the 5th with 7 runs and went on to an 11-7 win over Brossart. Junior Nick Houlehan pitched 4 strong innings as the starter and Junior Garrett Wander followed with 3 innings of relief work to pick up his first varsity win. Boone's 5th was highlighted by Junior shortstop Mark Reed's 3 run HR. Brad Krohman had a 2 run bomb in the first. Junior Cory Farris had a 2 for 2 day with 2 doubles. He is now 3 for 4 in this young season with 2 doubles and 1 HR. Brossart attempted a rally in the top of the 7th aided by Heck's HR, but it was too little too late. Boone goes to 2-0 and faces Holy Cross tomorrow, weather permitting.

Looks like a quality win for Boone. I picked Brossart to win the 10th.

Nice win for the Rebels. Is the Houlehan kid who pitched the same Houlehan that played for CCH?

No, that is his cousin this is Nick Houlehan the one that plays for CCH is Kyle Houlehan.
