BASEBALL

Advance 5, Oran 0

ADVANCE -- Advance's one-two punch of Garrett Broshuis and Chris Wallace helped lift the Hornets to a big win over Oran, which beat Advance in the district final last season and went on to place second in the Class 1A state tournament.

By virtue of the victory, the Hornets secured the top seed for next week's district tournament that Advance will host.

Advance improved to 12-7, dropping Oran to 14-5.

Broshuis struck out 13, walked six and allowed five hits in seven innings. The right-hander worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth and a spot in the seventh in which runners were on second and third.

Wallace smacked his area-leading 11th home run, a three-run blast. He has 31 RBIs this season.

Advance scored two runs in the second before Wallace's third-inning shot.

Chaffee 4, Sikeston 3

CHAFFEE -- Jason Harrell foiled Sikeston's strategy Monday as he singled with two-out in the seventh inning to lift Chaffee to a victory at Harmon Field.

Harrell's single scored Tommy Stidham with the winning run after the Bulldogs elected to walk the previous batter, Dusty Leggett. Stidham, who had two hits and scored three runs, walked with one out and stole his third base of the day. After a flyout, Sikeston walked Leggett to get to Harrell.

"We played real well,," said Chaffee coach Bruce Qualls, whose team improved to 14-4. "Stidham was the catalyst. It seemed like he was on base all day."

Harrell's single, the seventh Chaffee hit, made a winner of Matt Stroup, who went the distance and allowed just five hits. Stroup walked four, struck out 10 and allowed just one earned run.

Both teams scored single runs in the first and Chaffee moved ahead 2-1 in the second. Sikeston scored twice in the fifth and Chaffee once as the game was tied 3-3 moving into the late innings.
