Firebirds Defend Home Field With 12-7 Victory

KENOSHA, Wis. — The Carthage baseball team picked up their first ranked-win of the season, defeating No. 24 Augustana 12-7 on Tuesday afternoon at Augie Schmidt Field.

After the visitors struck first in the top of the second inning with a pair of runs, the Firebirds (9-6, 4-5 CCIW) put up an eight-run second inning, highlighted by a triple from Cody Phelps, double from Colton Klein, and home run by Bryce Prybylinski. While the Vikings (14-3, 6-3 CCIW) got one back in the top of the third, Carthage scored two more in the bottom of the inning to make it a 10-3 game. Augustana would get back within three runs in the sixth frame, making it a 10-7 game, before Johnny Belskis smacked a solo shot over the left field wall in the sixth, and Phelps added a home run of his own in the eighth to help solidify the win.

The Firebirds will remain at home for another midweek game tomorrow, April 7, when they host Lakeland University at 3 p.m. at Augie Schmidt Field.
