Cade Buehnerkemper pitched a complete game and Sam Bushur hit a home run, helping the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes post a 9-2 victory at Marshall.

Buehnerkemper allowed just three hits in his 95-pitch performance. He walked five and struck out seven.

Marshall scored two runs in the opening inning to grab the early lead, but the Shoes then scored in each of the final five frames to come away with the win.

T-Town tied the game in the third. Logan Roepke was hit by a pitch and Bushur then belted a pitch over the centerfield fence for a two-run homer.

The Shoes grabbed the lead for good with a three-run fourth. Derek Konkel and Hayden Ruholl both walked and Dylan Pruemer followed with a run-scoring single. Two more runs scored on errors to give THS a 5-2 lead.

Teutopolis then scored a single tally in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Konkel; added two runs in the sixth on a wild pitch and an RBI single by Kayden Althoff; and combined a walk, single and error to tack on a final run in the seventh.

The Shoes, now 4-1, will play at home today (Friday) against St. Joe-Ogden. Game time is 4:30 p.m.

THS will play two games at home Saturday. The first one will pit the Fleener brothers – Justin, the head coach at T-Town; and Chris, the head coach at Fairfield – against each other. That game will begin at 10 a.m. The Shoes will then play Putnam County at 2 p.m.
