Brock Marshall took the loss for the Owls, allowing all four runs on six hits and two walks in six innings of work.

Moberly’s Kyler Fanning was the winner, tossing six innings of one-run ball with four punchouts. Nolan Samuel earned the save with a scoreless seventh.

The Owls end the season with a 13-14, significantly improved from a 2-21 season in 2025. Moberly now advances to the district championship game and will take on Southern Boone at 6 p.m. Friday, May 22.
