HURON — The Huron 16U Tigers swept the Watertown Red Sox 16U club on Sunday at Memorial Field to run their current win streak to seven games.

Anderson Porisch opened the Huron half of the sixth with a double to left field. He was sacrificed to third by Nolan Stahly. Carter Porisch was hit by pitch. Carter then stole second and on the throw, Anderson came home.

Zach Scheer hit a slow roller to third base that turned into an error and scored Carter Porisch while Scheer ended up on second. Scheer then scored on a wild pitch to give Huron a 7-4 lead. The Tigers would need the cushion as Watertown pushed across one more run to make the final tally 7-5 in favor of Huron.

Stahly tossed a strong game, going six innings, allowing four unearned runs on five hits and a walk, striking out two. Crayton Siedschlag closed out the game with one inning pitched. He allowed one unearned run on one hit while striking out two.

Gavin Waldner had a big game at the plate, with a double and two singles. He also stole three bases.

Carter Porisch had a single, walked, and was hit by pitch. He also stole a base. Anderson Porisch had a double and a steal. Cooper Bischoff and Oakley Anderson each added a stolen base.

Carter Porisch was dominant on the mound in the second game, as Huron took home a 1-0 shutout victory. Porisch went seven innings, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out 10 Red Sox hitters.

Huron broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning as Siedschlag knocked a double. Waldner then singled to right field and Siedschlag scored on an error by the right fielder.

Waldner had another pair of hits in the nightcap, adding two more stolen bases, giving him five on the day.

Huron 16U has outscored opponents 58-19 over its current seven-game winning streak to move its season record to 17-10. They will host Sioux Falls Post 15 Wednesday beginning at 5 p.m. at Memorial Park Stadium.
