The Oakes Legion Baseball team got their third win of the season as they were able to win in a dominant 11-1 fashion against Wahpeton.

Most of the Tornadoes’ offense came in the second inning as seven runners came across home plate to quickly go up 7-0. Four Oakes hitters had multiple hits in their Monday win. Third baseman Howie Neustel went 2-3 with an RBI, centerfielder Alex Nelson went 2-4 with an RBI, first baseman Jaidy Gebhardt went 2-4 with three runs and catcher Joey Heim went 2-4 with two runs and an RBI.

Right-handed pitcher Garret Meehl was phenomenal on the rubber. In the first five-and-two-thirds innings, he allowed no hits. Unfortunately, he proceeded to allow four singles among the final eight batters he faced. He finished the game with nine strikeouts with six of them in the first time through the Wahpeton batting order. The only run he allowed was on back-to-back wild pitches. Meehl has a minimal ERA of 1.35 in the two games he’s pitched in the young 2021 Legion season.

Oakes improves to 3-0 and goes on the road for the first time against Wishek on Friday at 5:00 p.m.
