The Casper Oilers took game three of the North District Tournament tonight at Lansing Field. The Oilers offensive attack produced fourteen runs on sixteen hits on their way to a 14 to 4 victory over the Lovell Mustangs . The game was called after seven innings due to the mercy rule.
Eli Ford lead Casper on the hill, pitching his fourth complete game in as many starts. Ford went seven innings, allowing four earned runs on five Mustang hits. Ford also recorded six strikeouts and issued four walks on the night to earn his fifth win of the season.
Offensively the Oilers were lead by Zane Mathson who was 4 for 5 on the night with three triples and six RBIs. Lane Fischer also added four hits of his own along with three RBIs. Catcher Jake Loundagin was 3 for 4 on the evening with a solo home run and triple for Oilers.
The Mustangs were lead by Shane Dickerson and Steven Durtsche who were both 2 for 3. Casey Clawsen took the loss on the mound for Lovell.
Lovell will face the Sheridan Troopers in a loser out contest at 12:30pm on Friday at Lansing and Casper will take on the Cody Cubs at 7:30pm.
