After being rained out on Saturday, Oconomowoc traveled to Sussex in LOL Action on Memorial Day. It appeared it would be a high scoring battle after Oconomowoc scored a run in the top of the 1st and Sussex scored 2 in the bottom of the 1st, but the games turned out to be a battle between pitchers, with both teams starters throwing a complete game. Oconomowoc got their run in the 1st after a lead off triple by Matt Huffaker who later scored on a ground out from Jeff Rhoads. Sussex got their runs off two walks followed by a double from Scott Carberry. Sussex added one more in the bottom of the 3rd to make the score 3-1 but starter Mike Bolson then settled in and did not allow a run the rest of the game. Sussex starter Darin Leveraus cruised through Oconomowoc's line up until the top of the 8th when Oconomowoc staged a three run rally to take the lead, all after two outs. Jeff Rhoads drew a walk before Derek Nelson blasted a two run home run to right to tie the game. Then Josh Bouche and Mike Mitchell lined back to back singles putting runners at first and second. Steve Rhoads then laced a single to right over the first basemans glove scoring what would eventually be the winning run.
On the mound, Mike Bolson threw a complete game to earn the win allowing three runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out three. Darin Leveraus took the loss for Sussex. At the plate Oconomowoc was led by Josh Bouche who was 2 for 4.
The win puts Oconomowoc at 4-1 in the LOL West in a three way tie for first place with West Bend and the Brookfield Bulldogs. They travel to Lebanon (0-0) on Friday night for a Tri County match before traveling to Brookfield to face the Blue Sox (2-2) on Sunday in LOL action at 1:00 pm.
