Sabetha needed late offense and they got it scoring two-runs in the bottom of the seventh to come from behind to claim the 6-5 win over Falls City at Somerset Park.

Falls City held the 3-0 lead going into the bottom of the fourth after scoring a pair of runs in the second and one in the top of third. The Sabetha Raptors tied the game in the bottom of the fourth with three runs as Keegan Schumann had a triple in the inning, along with a Dustin Boeckman RBI double and Gaven Schumann two RBI double. Falls City responded with a pair of runs in the fifth on Sabetha miscues, while Sabetha tallied a single run, to make it 5-4 going into the seventh.

Gaven Schumann took over on the mound for the Raptors in the top of the seventh, coming in relief of Kyler Krebs and pitched a scoreless seventh. Down to their final three-outs Sabetha went to work in the bottom of the seventh. Taylor Bauman and Keegan Schumann each drew one-out walks and Boeckman had his second RBI double to tie the game at 5-5. After the second out was recorded in the seventh, Gaven Schumann came up and notched an RBI single to bring in the winning run for Sabetha to claim the 6-5 win.

On top of the game winning hit Gaven Schumann picked up his sixth win of the season on the mound with his inning of relief and finished with two hits and three RBI's. Boeckman added to the offense with two hits, two runs scored and two RBI's. While, Krebs started the game on the mound for Sabetha pitching six innings giving up seven hits, five walks and three hit batters, while striking out seven.

With the win Sabetha improved to 19-12 on the season and turns their attention to a NEKL doubleheader against Seneca on Wednesday night at Somerset Park starting at 6:00pm. Listen to the 6:00pm game on 103.9 KNZA and 92.1 KMZA tonight.
