Fremont, Nebraska- Jason Clark hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead Fremont in a 5-2 victory over the Oahe Zap, Wednesday night at Historic Moller Field.

Fremont took the lead in the bottom of the second inning. Tyler Harrington led off the inning with a double off Zap starter Kaleb Hay. The next batter, Carter Sintek, hit an RBI double in the first pitch he saw in his Moo season debut, scoring Harrington, to make it 1-0.

The Moo extended the lead in the bottom of the third. Blake Tablazon led off with a ground-rule double. Then, Henry Hayman hit an RBI single, scoring Tablazon, to make it 2-0.

In the bottom of the eighth, Oahe brought Brody Glenn in to pitch. The left-hander retired the first two batters he faced, but then ran into trouble. Carter Sintek reached on an infield single and Jayson Willers hooked a single into the left field corner to put runners at first and third. Moo designated hitter Jason Clark stepped to the plate and swung at a 2-2 pitch and pulled it over the "Moller Monster", just inside the left field foul pole for a three-run home run, putting Fremont up 5-2.

"I got a pitch on the inside and went with it," Clark said. "Got the barrel on it and put it out."

In the top of the ninth, Edwards got Jackson Mix to ground out to first and Kyle Memarian to ground out to short. Then, Edwards got Trevor Seagraves to strike out looking at a 2-2 curveball, to end the game.
