Post 15 split a doubleheader with Hawley on Tuesday night. Frazee dropped the first game by a score of 9-3, before winning the nightcap by a score of 7-4. 

In the first game of the night, Frazee took a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning when Brandon Nguyen hit a 2-run single and Caden Frank hit a sacrifice fly to right field. 

Hawley answered with 2 runs in the bottom of the second inning, as well as 4 runs in the fourth inning, 2 in the fifth inning and 1 run in the sixth inning to come away with a 9-3 win. 

Frazee had 9 hits in the game, but ultimately 3 errors led to 4 unearned runs. 

Mark Jaroszewski took the loss on the mound as he gave up 5 earned runs and 11 hits over 5 innings of action. 

Kale Ovsak led the way offensively as he had a pair of hits in the loss.

In the second game of the night, Hawley and Frazee combined for 20 hits and 11 runs as Post 15 came away with a 7-4 win.

Nearly all of Frazee’s offense came in a big bottom of the second inning. Post 15 went on a two out rally thanks to an RBI single by Gage Post, a 2-run double by Frank, a 2-run double by Scott Seim and an RBI double by Jaroszewski to give Frazee a 6-0 lead. 

Hawley answered with 4 runs of their own in the top of the third inning, but Frazee gave itself a bit of breathing room in the bottom half of the third inning when Derek Zitzow hit an RBI single to make the game 7-4 in favor of Frazee. 

Seim, Ovsak and Nguyen led the way offensively with a pair of hits apiece, while Zitzow picked up the win on the mound in relief of Nguyen. He pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings and gave up just 1 hit.
