ESCANABA — Mikey D’s advanced to the championship game in the superior land baseball league with a 2-1 win over Marquette here Monday.

Mikey D’s got on the board first in the bottom of the sixth inning on a suicide squeeze by Ben Snyder, scoring Cam Kelly.

The Mavericks bounced back in the top of the seventh inning as Jack Siik hit an RBI-single after James Larson reached on an error and advanced to second on a wild pitch.

Mickey D’s walked it off in the bottom of the seventh inning as Bon LaChance came up to bat with the bases loaded as Chase Clouiter, Tyler Lawson and Cam Kelly all drew walks in the at-bats. LaChance came through with the game winning hit to right field as Mikey D’s secured the win.

“Cam and Bon have come through with big hits two weeks in a row,” Ben Snyder said. “We are super lucky to have them and we are excited about being in the championship game next Monday.

Elliott Danhoff pitched for Mikey D’s, allowing one run on two hits with nine strikeouts.

“Elliott battled tonight,” Snyder said. “He didn’t have his best stuff but battled for the team and we were able to scrape a couple runs across to get the win he deserved.”

Justin Kirby took the loss for the Mavericks allowing two runs on four hits with five strikeouts in the contest.

“Justin pitched a heck of a game for the Mavericks,” Snyder said. “He was hitting his spots and got the big outs when they needed it.”

Mikey D’s will host Channing Monday Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. at Al Ness Field as Mikey D’s hosts the championship for the first time ever.
