When a baseball team commits more errors than they score runs, the outcome is generally not a good one.

That was certainly the case Saturday for the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes in a round robin. The Shoes scored a total of four runs in two games, but were guilty of six errors.

T-Town committed five of those errors in its opener, resulting in three unearned runs, and a 5-3 setback to the host Freeburg squad.

In the second game, an error led to an unearned run in the first inning, helping Waterloo Gibault Catholic post a 2-1 decision.

In the first contest, the Shoes jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the opening inning. Davin Worman got it started with a one-out solo home run. Then with two outs, Austin Borries singled, Mitch Koester walked and Evan Waldhoff was hit by a pitch to load the bases. An error by Freeburg then allowed two more runs to cross the plate.

Teutopolis had only two more hits the rest of the way – singles by Zac Niebrugge in the second and Brett Kreke in the sixth.

The host Midgets scored twice in the first and third innings and added a single tally in the fifth.

Logan Lawson took the loss. He pitched 4.1 innings, allowing seven hits and four runs – only two earned. Joey Niebrugge pitched the final 1.2 innings.

The Shoes jumped on top in the second game, as well. Garrett Gaddis had a lead-off single, went to second on a ground ball and scored on a base hit by Mick Niebrugge. Two walks loaded the bases, but as would be the case throughout the game, T-Town just couldn’t get the big hit with runners on base.

The Shoes had five hits in the game – three by Gaddis and two by Mick Niebrugge -- received four walks, had a hit batter and two runners reach on errors. But they ended up stranding 10 base runners for the game.

Gibault Catholic got single tallies in the first and third innings and that proved to be enough.

Gaddis pitched a strong five innings, allowing five hits and two runs – only one earned. He walked two and struck out six. Waldhoff pitched one scoreless inning.

The Shoes, now 13-8, will return home Monday to play South Central.
