The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes scored early and often Thursday afternoon, rolling to a 17-0, four-inning victory at Dieterich.

T-Town scored four runs in the opening inning and never looked back. The Shoes added two runs in the second, pushed six more runs across the plate in the third and capped their scoring with a five-run fourth.

THS collected 10 hits, with Caleb Siemer and Garrett Gaddis both getting two, and they took advantage of five Dieterich errors to score nine unearned runs.

In that opening inning, the Shoes scored four runs with just one hit. Cade Buehnerkemper reached on an error and Mitch Althoff then struck out, but reached base when strike three was a wild pitch. After the first run scored on a passed ball, Derek Konkel walked and Evan Waldhoff was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Joey Niebrugge drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Siemer capped the inning with a two-run single.

Dieterich was limited to three singles by Noah Dill, Pete Britton and Kaden Iffert.

Dylan Pruemer pitched three innings to get the win. He allowed two hits, while walking one and striking out three. Waldhoff pitched the final inning.

The Shoes improved to 7-5 on the season. They will return to action today Monday with a game at Charleston.
