Errors Lead to
Huskies Loss
July 18, 2008
By Topher Davis, Duluth Huskies
The Duluth Huskies returned to Wade Stadium for the first time in
nearly a week when the Brainerd Blue Thunder made the trip to
Duluth for a two game series set for Friday and Saturday night.
Friday brought a great crowd of 3,405 fans to the Wade on Superior
Night featuring nationally
 known
mascot act Rally presented by the Superior Jaycee's, unfortunately
for the host Huskies and the many fans, tough errors and the lack
of the big hit led to a Huskies loss by the score of 8-0.
The Huskies sent new starting pitcher Matt Hauer, who will
be attending the University of San Diego in the fall, to the mound
for his first start of the season and he worked well after a shaky
first inning and went on to set down 14 straight Blue Thunder
batters. Unfortunately unearned runs created a hole that was
too much for the Huskies batters to get out of.
The Huskies hitters were led by outfielder Ty Main
(pictured left) who had two hits and reached on a walk.
Overall the offense actually outhit the Blue Thunder eight to
seven but the four Huskies errors and strong Brainerd pitching led
to the third straight Huskies loss to Brainerd.
These same two teams will face off against each other again on
Saturday when T.J. Walz (pictured right) from the
University of Kansas will make the start on the mound on Mini Bat
Night presented by Minnesota Forest Industries and Minnesota
Timber Producers as the first 500 fans in attendance will receive
a free Duluth Huskies mini bat courtesy of the Minnesota Forest
Industries and Minnesota Timber Producers. Gates will open
at 6:05 PM on Saturday.
The Huskies homestand will continue on Sunday for a 4:05 PM game
when Cost Cutters Family Hair Salons will presents Cost Cutters
Baseball Hat Giveaway when the first 500 fans through the gates
will receive a free baseball hat from Cost Cutters. Gates
open on Sunday at 3:05 PM.
