Will Debruin's one out single in the bottom of the ninth scored Jon Schlemmer from third, breaking a 9-9 deadlock and giving the Menasha Macs a comeback victory over the West Allis Nationals on Friday night at Greenville Ballpark.
Early on it appeared the Nats would have little problem securing victory. After single runs the first and second, the Nats posted a four spot in the third to take an early 6-0 lead. Chad Tindall's two run triple capped the rally.
The Macs came back with two of their own in the bottom half of the frame, though, and after a single run in the fourth, put up four runs of their own in the fifth to narrow the margin to 8-7.
The Macs took the lead in the sixth, but Jared Stengel responded for the Nats with a solo homer to left in the eighth and the teams entered the ninth knotted at 9.
Despite the loss, several Nationals made impressive debuts. Brian Huntzinger went 4 for 4 with a double and a triple; Mike Merritt went 2 for 4 with a double and two runs; and Andy Kovarik with 2 for 4 with an RBI.
The Nationals now head to Marinette for a three game set against the Redbirds. The two teams will play a twinbill on Saturday starting at 1pm and single game on Sunday starting at noon.
