Teutopolis used a six-run second inning Thursday to erase an early deficit, en route to a 9-3 win at home over Dieterich.

The visiting Movin’ Maroons used an error and three of their four hits in the game to build a 3-0 lead in the opening inning. Derek Kuhl and Lucas Hall both had RBI singles for Dieterich.

But the Shoes responded in the bottom of the second. Evan Addis led off with a base hit and scored when Justin Hardiek ripped a double. A single by Brady McMahon, an error and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Luke Ungrund made it 3-3.

But T-Town wasn’t finished. With two outs, Mitch Hardiek singled, Trenton Schwerdt walked and both runners moved up a base on a passed ball. Mitch Hemmen then put the Shoes on top with a two-run single and Matt Deters capped the uprising with a run-scoring hit.

THS tacked on three more tallies in the fourth, despite getting just one hit. They combined one hit batter plus four walks, two with the bases loaded, to build the six-run cushion.

Evan Addis went the first five innings to get the win. He gave up four hits and three unearned runs, while walking just one and striking out two. Hayden Ruholl pitched the final two frames and didn’t allow a baserunner, while striking out three.

The Shoes, who improved to 9-2, will play today (Friday) at Woodlawn.
