COLUMBIA, Mo. - Junior third baseman Kurt Propst went 2-for-5 with five runs batted in to lead the Missouri Black team to a 12-4 win over the White team in intrasquad baseball action Sunday evening.

The Black team nicknamed the Bengals, got on the board early on freshman Brian Desch's two-run double. Desch came home on junior shortstop Ryan Stegall's error to make the score 3-0. The Bengals scored three more runs in the second on freshman Cody Ehlers' RBI-double and a two-run single from Propst. Ehlers got things started in the Bengals' three-run third inning with an RBI-single that plated junior second baseman Tony Vitello. Overall, Ehlers had a big game driving in two runs on three hits. He also scored three runs of his own and had a stolen base.

The White team, whose moniker is the Tigers, scored one run in the second on the first of freshman Aaron Peterik's two RBI in the game. Sophomore Kevin Henry led off the inning with a double to left field and scored on Peterik's RBI-single to make the score 6-1 in favor of the Black team.

The Black team scored two runs in the fourth thanks to RBI-singles from sophomore Jayce Tingler and Vitello. The Bengals added a run in the seventh on Propst's fifth RBI of the game: a sacrifice fly that brought in Tingler for the team's 12th run of the contest.

The White team scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth on a double from freshman Felipe Teleboin and a single from Peterik for the game's final count.

Senior left hander Mitch Kiler picked up the win for the Black team. The southpaw turned in seven innings of work, gave up one run on six hits and struck out four. Freshman Andy Powers and junior Matt Hobbs also saw time on the hill for the Bengals.

Drew Endicott took the loss for the White team. Also seeing action for the Tigers on the mound were senior Logan Dale and freshmen Mark Alexander and Garrett Broshuis.

"Both teams played hard and did not give up. We had great individual performances on both sides ," Head Coach Tim Jameison remarked.

Tiger assistants Chal Fanning of the Black team and Evan Pratte of the White team served as "head coach" of their respective squads. Each had thoughts on how his team played Sunday.

"I told them (Black team) before the game - two rules - we play nine innings and 27 outs and you guys must prove you are the better team. Now they have the tempo and they must follow through," said Fanning.

"Drew had a rough outing, but we will bounce back tomorrow. We have freshman Mike Mitchell throwing for us tomorrow. It is early in the series," Pratte said.

Game two of the Fall World Series is tomorrow at 7:00 p.m., at Taylor Stadium/Simmons Field. All series games are free and open to the public.
