Rams split with Cyclones

Glenwood held on to its lead in the Hawkeye 10 Conference baseball standings after splitting a double header with Harlan last Tuesday.

After giving up five early runs to the Cyclones in game one, Glenwood couldn’t pull off the comeback in a 6-5 loss. In game two, Justin Fisher’s pitching gem lifted the Rams to a 2-0 shutout victory.

Tyler Jensen took the loss in game one going the whole way and allowing seven hits and three earned runs while fanning four.  Jensen helped his own cause with a pair of hits. Brady Douma added three hits and Sam Jameson two.
Fisher was dominant in game two. The senior righty got a run from his offense in the top of the first and it was all he needed to move to 4-0 on the season. Fisher struck out three Cyclones,  allowed just two hits (none after the fifth inning) in the complete-game win.

Both of the Rams’ runs were of the manufactured variety.

In the top of the first, Jensen led off the game with an infield hit, reached second via error and was moved to third base on Brady Wheeler’s sacrifice before scoring on a two-out double by Corey Bertini.

Glenwood added a run in the fifth when Fisher drew a walk and was sacrificed to second where he later scored on an error.

Zak Mumm scattered seven hits and struck out two in five innings of work to earn the win.
