Dale Wolf delivered a two-out RBI single in the top of the seventh inning Saturday, helping the Newton Eagles post a 2-1 win at St. Anthony.
It was the third loss in three days for the Bulldogs.
It was a pitcher’s dual throughout. But in the top of the seventh, the Eagles got a single and a walk to start the inning and set up Wolf’s game-winning hit.
Newton’s Carson Barthelme limited St. Anthony to just two hits through his 6.1 innings of work. Wolf then relieved in the seventh and recorded the final two outs to secure the win and earn the save.
Wolf also knocked in the Eagles’ first run on an RBI single in the first. The Bulldogs tied it in the third. Brock Fearday got a two-out double and scored when Brady Hatton’s ground ball was misplayed for an error.
Sam Link took the loss. He relieved in the sixth and gave up three hits and a run. Nick Ruholl was the starter and pitched five strong innings. He gave up six hits and one run, while walking one and striking out two.
The Bulldogs are now 18-4. They will play at home again Monday, facing Mt. Vernon.
