West Allis NATIONALS Baseball

Pewaukee jumped to an early 4-0 lead and withstood a number of Nationals comeback attempts en route to a 7-5 victory Wednesday night at Harvey Kuenn Field in West Allis.   The victory upped the Muskies Nite League record to 2-2; the Nationals fell to 5-2.

Despite a number of well hit balls, the Nationals were held to 5 hits on the night.  Key blows included Brian Huntzinger's 2 out RBI single in the second to put the Nationals on the board, and Jimmy Jungbauer and Paul Archambault's RBI singles in a 2 run sixth that narrowed the deficit to 7-5.

Curt Pryal went the first 4 plus innings and took the loss.   The Nationals bullpen on Tom Starck, Tyler Frohwirth, and Cody Griebling limited the Muskies to 3 hits and two unearned runs the rest of the way, striking out 7.

Next up for the Nationals are the Addison Braves in a Wisconsin State League matchup on Sunday.  The teams will play a DH at Kuenn Field.  First game begins at 2pm.
