SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Glendale edged McDonald County 2-1 on Monday in a non-conference prep baseball contest at Provance Field.

The Mustangs fell to 2-2 on the season.

This one could be described as a pitcher’s duel.

The Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the second on Graham Satterwhite’s RBI single. 

The Mustangs rallied with two outs in the third.

Cross Dowd, Tucker Walters and Isaac Behm recorded three straight singles to make it 1-1. 

The score held up until the bottom of the sixth, when Glendale’s Cam Stratton hit an RBI single to left. It proved to be the game-winning hit.

The Mustangs had their chances in the top of the seventh.

With one out, Jacob Gordon singled to left to put the tying run on-base. But the Falcons retired the next two batters to secure the win.

McDonald County had four singles in the game, one apiece by Cross Dowd, Walters, Behm and Gordon.

Destyn Dowd threw well in defeat. Dowd struck out eight, scattered six hits, walked just two and allowed two runs.

DJ Cofield had two of Glendale’s six hits.

Drew Wedgeworth was the winning pitcher. He tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Kaleb Julian earned the save.

Spencer Pottebaum started and allowed one earned run on three hits in three innings while striking out six.

Before Monday, McDonald County earned wins over Belton (3-1) and Warsaw (9-2) and lost to Conway (10-2) at the Ozarks Baseball Classic.
