Marshall Tigers Defeat New Ulm Eagles 3-1 in Big South Conference Baseball Matchup

In a highly anticipated Big South Conference baseball game, the Marshall Tigers emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over the New Ulm Eagles at Mueller Park on Tuesday. The standout performance of the game came from Marshall’s pitcher, Liam Kruse, who delivered a stellar performance on the mound.

Marshall head coach Chace Pollock praised Kruse’s improvement, noting that he has been getting better with each outing. Kruse showcased his skills by striking out six batters and allowing only two hits and one earned run in his seven innings pitched. His ability to keep the New Ulm bats at bay was crucial in securing the win for the Tigers.

On the offensive side, Ashton Blomberg and Josh Kraft led the way for Marshall, contributing key hits and runs. Despite a valiant effort from New Ulm, they struggled to generate consistent offense against Kruse’s dominant pitching.

Both teams had opportunities to score throughout the game, but it was Marshall who capitalized on key moments to secure the victory. With the win, Marshall improved to a 5-1 record, while New Ulm fell to 3-4 on the season.

Looking ahead, New Ulm will face off against Mankato East, while Marshall will host Worthington in their next matchups. The competitive spirit and determination displayed by both teams set the stage for an exciting season ahead in the Big South Conference.
