Three notches in the win column and a tournament title to end their season.

That is what Bryce Gehlert’s Belle Tiger fall baseball team was after during the Stoutland Fall Classic baseball tournament over the weekend.

Defeating Vienna (11-0) and Bourbon (7-1) in pool play Friday night, Gehlert’s Tigers won their pool earning the right to face the host Tigers in the championship game Saturday afternoon.

Nearly scoring in all seven innings, Belle’s offense gave starting pitcher Blake Henry more than enough run support during an 11-0 victory Saturday afternoon along Interstate 44.

Helping his own cause, Henry led the game off with a single before later scoring on a Hank Stratman RBI ground out getting Belle on the board.

After Henry’s single, Garrett Gehlert walked and scored on a Clayton Shockley RBI single doubling Belle’s lead to 2-0 after a half-inning.

Retiring Stoutland in order in the bottom half of the first inning, Henry helped the Tigers keep their 2-0 lead entering the second inning.

Cooper Durbin started the top of the second drawing a walk before scoring when Gehlert reached on a dropped third strike.

Hunter Wulff singled after Durbin’s walk and scored on a Stratman RBI single doubling Belle’s lead to 4-0 entering the bottom of the second.

Henry once again retired the side while picking up two strikeouts in the bottom of the second.

Nearly striking out the side in the bottom of the third, Henry found himself nearly halfway to a perfect game.

Adding to his second-inning single, Wulff led the top of the fourth off with a solo home run to dead center field pushing Belle’s lead to 5-0.

Leading 5-0 after four innings, Belle tacked on two more runs when Carter Kinkead and Shockley both scored on passed balls after reaching base in the top of the fifth.

Working around a Stoutland leadoff double and a one-out single in the bottom of the fourth, Henry kept his bid for a shutout alive in spite of seeing his hopes of a no-hitter and perfect game dashed.

During the top of the sixth, Belle added two runs to their lead without the aid of a base hit.

Gehlert was hit by a pitch before scoring while Stratman walked and scored on an error.

Allowing just a two-out walk in the bottom of the sixth, Henry got two more insurance runs from his Belle offense in the top of the seventh inning.

Ruger Schlottog walked and scored on a Henry RBI double before Belle’s starting pitcher scored on a Stratman RBI single giving Belle their final margin of victory.

Earning the complete-game win, Henry allowed just two hits and a walk while striking out eight Stoutland Tigers.

Capping pool play Friday against Bourbon’s Warhawks, Gehlert’s Tigers scored two runs in the first and third innings to go with a three-run bottom of the fourth helping them post a 7-1 victory.

Shockley led the Belle offense with two hits, three runs batted in (RBI) and a run scored.

Kinkead chipped in two hits while Gehlert also recorded a pair of hits and three runs scored.

Opening pool play with another Maries County showdown against Vienna’s Eagles, Belle broke open a 5-0 game after three innings with a six-run bottom of the fifth helping them to an 11-0 mercy rule victory in the opening game of pool play for both teams at Stoutland.

Shockley tossed a complete-game no-hit shutout allowing just one walk to go with 11 strikeouts.

Vienna’s Duncan Wilkinson became their second base runner of the game on a fourth-inning leadoff walk after Gavin Schwartze was hit by a pitch in the top of the second inning to break up Shockley’s bid for a perfect game.

Kinkead led the Tiger offense with three hits.

Driving in two runs apiece for Belle against Vienna were Luke Rohrer, Kinkead, Henry and Shockley.

Following their tournament title in Stoutland, Belle ended their fall season at 12-4.
