Tuesday, July 21st - Regionals - Hale 3 vs Pius XI 0

Alex Reed continued his late season surge looking almost untouchable vs. the Popes.  He gave up just two Texas-league singles, one in the third and one in the seventh in recording the victory.  Reed only allowed three runners to reach as far as second base.

Reed helped his cause in the first, singling and stealing second.  Two pitches later, Eric Abel lined a single to center to score Reed. The Huskies tallied another in the 5th.  JJ Saugstad walked and was replaced by pinch-runner Zach Wall.  Dean Sullivan bunted him to second and Wall scored on a single by Eric Schrader.  The Huskies played small-ball again in the seventh.  Dean Sullivan reached base on an infield error and was bunted over to second by Eric Schrader.  Sullivan’s heads-up base running allowed us to tack on a big insurance run.  He broke for third on a wild pitch that dribbled away from the catcher.  The catcher’s throw sailed into left field and Sullivan scored.

Reed’s performance on the mound allowed the offense to be opportunistic.  Dean Sullivan, who had singled, scored all the way from first on a two-out error in the third.  The Huskies scored four more times in the fifth on just two hits.  Sullivan doubled off the wall scoring JJ Saugstad and Anthony Mueller knocked in another with a ground out.  Reed went 3-4 on the day and Dean Sullivan went 2-3.

Friday, June 26th - West Allis Hale 1 vs Muskego 0 (Changed to a win due to an illegal pitcher used)

Again the Huskies found themselves in a hole due to some sloppy defensive work.  Muskego took advantage and scored seven times, only two runs earned, in the first four frames.  Eric Abel brought the game within four runs with a towering 2-run homer, but the Huskies would get no closer.  Donny Nowak led the offense with two singles, the player with multiple hits.

*This game is under protest to the WIAA due to an illegal pitcher.

Thursday, June 25th - Muskego 5, West Allis Hale 4

The Huskies found themselves down 4-0 entering the bottom of the third.  All four runs were unearned, three in the second inning on an obstruction play where nothing was called.

Hale got one back in the third when Eric Abel knocked in courtesy runner Andrew Riley with a triple.  After surrendering another run in the fourth, the Huskies scored 3 more times in the bottom of the fifth to get within a run.  The big hit was a two-out, two-run single by Anthony Mueller.
The Huskies got the lead runner on in both the 6th and 7th, but were unsuccessful trying to get the tying run across the plate.
Schrader was the hard-luck loser on the hill, giving up just 5 hits and 1 earned run while striking out 7.

Monday, June 22nd - Menomonee Falls 14, West Allis Hale 7

After trailing 10-1 after, the Huskies staged a little comeback of their own by hanging a 5-spot in the top of the sixth. Five consecutive hits drew the Huskies within 4.  Dean Sullivan singled, Eric Schrader doubled, Alex Reed singled, Eric Abel tripled and Anthony Mueller followed with his second home run of the year.  Donny Nowak was robbed of a hit on a nice diving stab by the third baseman, and the Falls had to bring in another pitcher to quell the storm.
           
Abel went 3-4 with a double and triple and three RBI.  Eric Schrader doubled and went 2-3 and Anthony Mueller finished 1-4 with the home run and two RBI

Tuesday, June 16th - West Allis Hale 7, Wauwatosa East 6

After not catching a break for most of the season, the Huskies got one gift-wrapped in the 7th inning on Tuesday.  Hale scored four times in the seventh on just one hit in winning 7-6.  The Red Raiders committed four errors in the inning loading the bases on the last one with the score tied at 6.  Donny Nowak got plunked in the hip on the first pitch he saw to force in the winning run.

The Huskies managed only three hits in the game -- an RBI single from Eric Abel and 2-RBI single from Josh Riche in the first and an RBI single by Dean Sullivan in the 7th.

Monday June 15th - Sussex Hamilton 10, West Allis Hale 7

After beginning the game in a 5-0 hole after 1/2 inning, the Huskies battled back to tie the game by the end of the fourth inning.  Red-hot Eric Schrader singled, Alex Reed singled and Eric Abel walked to load the bases in the first.  Anthony Mueller plated one run with an enormous fly ball single to the wall.  Donny Nowak and Andrew Riley followed with bases loaded walks to bring us within two.  Schrader walked and scored on a single by Abel in the second and Dean Sullivan singled and scored on a single by Reed in the 5th knotting the score at 5-5.
  
Hamilton scored 5 more in the top of the 5th on two walks, two hit batters, an error and two singles.  Again the Huskies fought back scoring single runs in the 6th and 7th.
The defensive highlight of the game was a triple-playto end the sixth.  Josh Riche fielded a sharp ground ball.  He threw it to Dean Sullivan at second and the relay to Scrader completed the double play.  The runner from 3rd took off late to the plate and a perfect strike from Schrader to Abel completed the first triple play turned by Hale in at least 4 years.
Reed went 3-5, Schrader 2-3 with a sacrifice, Abel 2-2 and Sullivan 2-4.  Abel also threw out a runner trying to steal 2nd and one trying to steal third.  This drops the Huskies to 2-5 in conference and 5-6 overall.

6/9/09

Tuesday, June 9th - West Allis Hale 6, Brookfield East 3

Dillion Engle controlled the game from the first inning on as the Huskies won a home game at Brookfield East.  Due to a scheduling conflict, Hale batted last even though the game was played at East.  Engle gave up just three runs as his pitch count got up in the 7th and the game was saved by Alex Reed who entered and retired all three batters that he faced. Hale bunched their runs by putting up a five spot, on five hits, in the third inning.  Eric Schrader and Alex Reed singled with one out and both came home on Eric Abel's double.  Following two walks and a sacrifice fly by Donny Nowak, Andrew Riley capped the scoring with a two-run double of his own.  The Huskies brought across a single run in the fifth and Donny Nowak's double.

Hale managed 8 hits for the game, led by Eric Schrader's 3-4 night and two hits from Eric Abel.  The Huskies now enter a long streak of games, playing 14 games in the next 17 days starting June 15

Saturday, May 30th – West Allis Hale 7, Grafton 1. (NC)

This story of this game was the flashing leather.  With the Huskies holding a 1-0 lead into the top of the fourth, three incredible plays helped it stay that way.
The first batter of the inning knocked a soft fly down the left field line and Dean Sullivan came in a hurry and picked it off the grass for the first out.  Not to be outdone, centerfielder Jason King mirrored Sullivan’s catch with one of his own.
Two batters later, shortstop Alex Reed chased down a pop-up just over the infield with a beautiful diving catch.
The offense responded with four runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth.  Tom Ayling knocked in a run with a double and King knocked in two more with a single.  Eric Schrader and Ayling each had two doubles and Eric Abel was 3-for-4 with a double and two triples.

5/29/09 (no box score reported in JSOnline)

Friday, May 29th – West Allis Central 7, West Allis Hale 4.

The first inning started wonderfully for us as Anthony Mueller double home Eric Abel, who had doubled himself, to take an early 1-0 lead.  But the Bulldogs stormed back scoring 7 times in the first two innings.  Bad luck seemed to follow the Huskies in the early frames.  Kevin Kadunc ripped a shot that was caught by the pitcher and turned into a double play, thwarting a “golden” scoring opportunity in the second.
The bats came alive in the seventh, but it was too little and too late.  Anthony Mueller lead the offense going 2-for-4 with three RBI.

Thursday, May 28th – Muskego 10, West Allis Hale 0, 5 innings.

The conference season started on a down note at Muskego.  The offense only mustered two hits, singles by Alex Reed and Dean Sullivan, but the defense wasn’t much better as the Huskies had 4 miscues.

5/23/09

Saturday, May 23rd – West Allis Hale 15, Waukesha West 10. (NC)

After a quick game to start off the day, the second one dragged on and the mosquitos got worse and worse but Hale still notched a “W”.
Trailing 6-3 in the 5th, 8 of the first nine guys in the inning reached first on either a walk or a hit.  Tom Ayling started the fun with an RBI-triple to start off the scoring, and junior Josh Riche capped it with a two-run single.  We held off a late rally with Eric Schrader closing the door with his first save of the season.
Eric Schrader, Eric Abel, Anthony Mueller, Donny Nowak and Kevin Kadunc each had two hits.
