Nixa scored single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to squeak by Republic 2-0 at Nixa Thursday night.
Nixa’s Jake Uber scattered seven hits, struck out five and walked two in his complete-game shutout. Josh Gentry was the tough-luck loser, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits. He walked three and struck out three.
Clayton Crowley and Landin Sigman each had two hits for the Tigers.
The Eagles scored their first run in the bottom of the fifth on an infield error by the Tigers. They added the insurance run on a two-out RBI single in the sixth.

American Family Baseball Tiger of the Game
Josh Gentry pitched well for the Tigers — just not quite well enough. He allowed just one earned run on three hits, in a six-inning performance. Gentry also collected a hit in a 1-for-3 night at the plate, and he’s our American Family Baseball Tiger of the Game.
