Sleepy Eye sent 14 batters to the plate in the second inning and scored 10 runs, rolling to a 13-0 win over the Chargers Friday at Johnson Park.

The game was stopped after five innings because of the 10-run lead rule.

Karter Haala got mound win for the Indians (10-1). He went five innings and allowed just two hits while striking out seven.

Rogan Scriver took the loss for the Chargers (3-5).

He went two innings and allowed 11 runs.

Haala and Anden Braun each had three hits for Sleepy Eye, with two of Haala’s coming in that 10-run second inning. Jacob Fulmer, Carson Uecker and Kayden Klein each had two hits also for Sleepy Eye, while Braun had two RBIs.

Connor Bode had both hits for the Chargers, who were out-hit by the Indians 13-2.

“Karter pitched a heck of a game and Bode is a tough out,” Indians head coach Aaron Nesvold said. “We have been hitting the ball top to bottom in our lineup and that helps.”

Chargers head coach Micah Degner said his team didn’t do enough to help Scriver.

“We had a couple of opportunities to get out of that [second] inning, but we did not help our pitcher out,” Degner said. “And they just put the ball in play — that was the difference.”

After taking a 1-0 lead in the first on a wild pitch, Sleepy Eye broke lose.

Haala started the 10-run inning with his first single of the inning with a base hit to right field.

A Keegan Netzke sacrifice bunt moved him to second.

That was followed by singles from Braun and Fulmer and a walk to Brayden Heiderscheidt. A groundout, a Klein single and an infield error made it 6-0.

By the time the dust settled, Sleepy Eye was in cruise control at 11-0.

“That [10-run inning] was huge,” Nesvold said. “I think going into that fifth inning was at 42 pitches and we have not scored that many runs in an inning this season.”

Degner said Sleepy Eye hit the ball well.

“Everything that they hit dropped in,” Degner said. “They did hit a few balls hard too.”

Sleepy Eye, which has a big game Monday against Springfield in Sleepy Eye, added single runs in the fourth and fifth innings on a Braun RBI double in the fourth and a Jaxon Saenz sacrifice fly.

With just two hits in the game, Degner said that he does have concern about the lack of hitting.

“That is something that we talked about,” he said. “We need to be more competitive at the plate — even if it is just putting the ball in play harder and getting hard outs. Right now we are not even doing that.”

The Chargers host a South Central Conference doubleheader Tuesday against Sibley East at Johnson Park.
