July 30, 2007

WATERLOO, IOWA  – JULY 30, 2007 – (stats) Nick Nordgren's (Indian Hills C.C.) two-out, base clearing double in the sixth broke a 1-1 tie, helping the Chucks to a 6-1 win over the Waterloo Bucks. Willie Kempf (Baylor) tossed a beauty, scattering seven hits and allowing just one run in seven innings. 

The Chucks struck the scoreboard first when Vicente Cafaro (Iowa Western C.C.) drove in Elliott Arrington (UNC-Asheville) with a single in the second inning. The Bucks countered back in the fifth, before Nordgren's big double.

The Chucks added a couple more runs late in the ballgame to insure a victory. Elliott Arrington, "Cowboy", finished 2-for-5 with a couple runs scored, while Nordgren had two doubles in three at-bats.

The Chucks still are one game behind Eau Claire, who beat Battle Creek 6-3, standing 14-6 (30-24 overall) in the second half.

NOTES: Matt Trausch is the probable starter for Tuesday, July 31 ... The Chucks are now 3-2 this season and 58-63 all-time versus Bucks ... It was the first game of the a six game road trip ... Its Nick Nordgren's third mulit-RBI game of the season.
