Eagles down Rockets in final week of season

The Morris amateur baseball team started the final week of the regular season with a win over the Raymond Rockets Wednesday at home.

Adam Torkelson got the start and was stellar. He pitched eight innings allowing only two earned runs.

Chase Rambow came on to get the save as the Rockets had the tying run on first with nobody out in the ninth inning.

Norm Marquart, Eric Asche, and Ross Haugen each had two hits for the Eagles with all of them having a double as one of their hits.

The Eagles also received eight walks from Rocket pitching which aided in the effort.

Morris closes the regular season with two league games, Friday night against Clinton at Chokio and Sunday afternoon in Rosen. Morris can still get first place with a sweep of the two league games and a Dumont loss to Clinton on Saturday.
