  Speaker 1: Everlett Logan. Hugle's approach is to look for that one
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: pitch he can hit and foul everything else off until
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: he can get to that good one. Safe to say
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: he isn't missing it lately. Plainfield North senior first baseman
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: homered on Tuesday for the second straight day and third
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: time in the last five games. Ian Datweller also went
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: deep for the visiting Tigers, who blasted past Oswego East
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: seventeen to one in five innings to take the first
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: two games of the three games Southwest Prairie West series.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good at the plate, Hugo said. It
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: can't be done without the hard work in practice every
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: day every week to prepare us. I'm just feeling comfortable
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: at the plate, looking for my pitch. Hugle hit a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: perfectly placed pop fly single between two fielders in short
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: left field and the third inning, scoring Plainfield North's second
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: run in a seven run inning. He was not cheated
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: his next time up, Hugle turned on a first pitch
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: fastball and drilled a two run home run with one
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: out in the fourth. The homer, deep beyond the left
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: field fence appeared to dent the roof of a truck
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in an adjacent parking lot. First pitch fastball, that's what
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we look for, and I did what I could with it,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Hugle said. I tried focusing on not dropping the backside
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and tried to level it off. I got a home run,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: which is all good. Hugle, one of a large group
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of players back from Plainfield North's regional championship team last year,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: has it going good. On Monday, he hit a go ahead,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: three run homer in Plainfield North's eight four win over
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: As we Go East. He just has to stay within himself.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: He's a big, strong kid. Plainfield North coach John Darlington said,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think he is getting pitches in good count and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: he's taking advantage of it. Instead of trying to hit
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the ball over the field, He's just trying to get
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a base hit. Next thing you know, he hits it
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: out of the park. Plainfield North is doing a lot
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of that lately. The Tigers eleven five, two to zero
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: have hit multiple homers in four of their last five games.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Plainfield North sent twelve batters to the plate in a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: seven run third Tuesday and tacked on five in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: fourth and five in the fifth. Evan Monico and winning
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: pitcher Colin Ogden each had two hits and an RBI,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and Nevin Hogan drove in two runs. This lineup is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a pretty talented lineup top to bottom. Hugo said, everybody
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: can hit the ball. Oswego East pitching did not help
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: its cause against that lineup. The Wolves seven nine zero
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: two walked eight batters and hit five more, cycling through
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: four pitchers. As Weego East loss was its fifth straight,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and it has given up just over nine runs a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: game in those losses. You can't defend walks and hit
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: by pitches, and things fell apart. As we Go East
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: coach Brian Schafer said, when things unravel, it kind of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: snowballs for us. Nathan kristin Ujaya, Oswego East number eight hitter,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: had two of his team's three hits and drove in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the only run the Wolves hope to get. U as
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Ice commit Dominic Batista, who has one at bat all season,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: back from a preseason handmate bone injury. At some point,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we didn't play competitive baseball in all facets of the game,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Schaeffer said. We're in a little bit of a slump,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and you saw it where on the guy's body. Language wise,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's something they have to get over and play through it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Plainfield North meanwhile, won its third straight since a rough
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: two game stretch last week when it gave up twenty
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: eight runs. The Tigers lost number two starter Jackson Schlott
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to a pulled muscle in his back last week, but Ogden,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: for to one, who started the season in relief, had
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: his best start Tuesday, working all five innings and striking
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: out one with four walks. We have hit up and down.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We just have to get our pitching solidified, Darlington said.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Ogden has eased his way in. He's around the plate
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: for the most part, and he throws hard. That helps
