FSHS baseball blanks Ozark

? Free State High senior pitcher Trevor Munsch struck out six and gave up only two hits in six innings, propelling his baseball team to a 5-0 victory against Ozark on Friday.

The Firebirds (3-0) only had four singles, but gave Munsch plenty of run support. Junior Dale Miller hit a two-run single in the fourth inning, and senior Bradley Collicott had an RBI single in the fifth.

“We didn’t get a lot of hits, but we got timely hits,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “I thought our pitching was fantastic. Only two hits.”

Junior Aaron Funk tossed a hitless seventh inning, striking out one.

The Firebirds will play at Branson (Mo.) at 10 a.m. today.
