The BOLD Mudhens swept Hutchinson to end the 2015 regular season in an exciting manner in Bird Island last Saturday. The two teams battled back and forth with lead changes taking place in both games. In game one Hutchinson lead 4-0 after four and half innings only to see the BOLD offense come to life in the bottom of the 5th and 6th innings, scoring six times to win 6-4. In game two, with BOLD as the visitor on the scoreboard, the Mudhens scored five tmes only to see Hutchinson come right back with four runs of their own in the bottom of the first. Hutchinson took a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the 2nd but BOLD tied the score in the top of the 3rd at 6-6. Hutchinson took a one run lead back in the bottom of the 4th. But BOLD was able to push across three runs in their half of the 6th and then held on as center fielder Lane Stadther made a fine running catch in deep center field for the final out of the game with the tying and potential winning runs on base. Ben Steffel picked up the win in game one and earned a save in game two.
