There’s nothing like a 14-run inning to turn a game into a rout.

But that’s exactly what the Teutopolis baseball team did Monday afternoon.

The Shoes sent 20 batters to the plate and combined 10 hits, five walks, two errors and a wild pitch to push 14 runs across the plate in the fourth inning and finished with an 18-1 victory at Neoga.

T-Town had a 4-1 lead entering the fourth. Before the explosion ended, the Shoes scored one run on a wild pitch, two runs on errors and two more on bases loaded walks. Derek Konkel had two hits in the inning, driving in one run with a single and then two more with a double. Andrew Niebrugge and Logan Roepke both had two-run doubles, Evan Addis added an RBI double and Dylan Pruemer had a base hit that also drove home a run.

The Shoes scored two runs in the top of the first without getting a hit. Sam Bushur and Kayden Althoff were both hit by a pitch and Andrew Niebrugge walked to load the bases. The first run scored when Dylan Pruemer was hit by a pitch and Konkel followed with a walk that forced home another run.

Even Wermert had a two-out RBI single in the second and Max Niebrugge added a run-scoring base hit in the third.

THS finished with 13 hits and received nine walks. Ten different batters had at least one hit, with Bushur, Konkel and Max Niebrugge each having two. Konkel drove in four runs.

Bushur was the winning pitcher. He went the first three innings, allowing two hits and one run. He walked one and struck out two. Konkel pitched the final inning.

The Shoes, now 3-1, will return home today (Tuesday) for a doubleheader with Altamont. The first game is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. THS will then play Thursday at Marshall and Friday at home against St. Joe-Ogden.
