Minster 4, Recovery 2

FORT RECOVERY — Minster trailed 1-0 after five innings and it didn’t look like it would get any better in the sixth, when the first two batters made outs.

But then came a single, a single, a hit-by-pitch and then a grand slam home run by Isaac Dorsten. It held up for a 4-2 Minster win which gave the Wildcats second place in the final Midwest Athletic Conference standings.

The big hit by Dorsten made a winner out of sophomore Noah Enneking, who was making his first appearance in a varsity game. He came on in relief in the fifth and pitched the final three frames to get the win, striking out five in the process.

Minster is now 19-6 and finished league play at 6-3, just one game behind league champion Coldwater.
