The Farmers extended their Omaha Cup series lead to 2-0 Friday afternoon as they defeated the Plowboys, 6-4, at Olsen Field.

Mitchell Kilkenny held the Ployboys scoreless on the mound for 4.2 innings, Alonte Wingate went 3-for-4 with two RBI and the Farmers held off a late comeback attempt by the Plowboys.  

The Plowboys nearly drew first blood in the second when Bryce Blaum singled to right field with a runner on second, but George Janca was thrown out at the plate by Baine Schoenvogel to end the inning.

The game remained scoreless until the top of the fifth, when the Farmers finally got to Plowboy starter John Doxakis. Cole Bedford blooped a one-out single into shallow left field, and Jorge Gutierrez followed with a walk.

Schoenvogel then crushed a double into the right-center field gap to score Bedford, and Wingate came through moments later with a two-run single to put the Farmers up, 3-0.

The Farmers tacked on two more in the sixth as Braden Shewmake legged out a one-out triple, which Hunter Coleman quickly followed with an RBI single. After Cason Sherrod relieved Doxakis with two outs, Bedford tripled off the base of the wall in right to score Coleman.

The Farmers threatened again in the eighth when they loaded the bases with one out, but Chandler Jozwiak induced an infield popout and a strikeout to wiggle out of the frame unscathed.

Freshman Dustin Saenz cruised into the eighth before the Plowboys got to him. Aaron Walters and Cole Taylor hit back-to-back run-scoring doubles to make it 5-4, but Jason Ruffcorn entered the game out of the bullpen to get Blaum to fly out and end the threat.

The Farmers scored again in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Coleman, and Ruffcorn retired the side in order to close out the game.

The series picks back up on Wednesday, November 1, at 3 p.m.
