Teutopolis broke a tie with three runs in the sixth inning Thursday and came home with a 4-1 victory at Olney.

Base hits by Evan Wermert and Evan Addis, plus a walk to Andy Niebrugge, loaded the bases for the Shoes in the top of the sixth. Derek Konkel’s ground ball drove in what proved to be the winning run. Hayden Ruholl then walked to load the bases again and an error on a pop-up off the bat of Dylan Pruemer allowed two more runs to score.

That was enough for Pruemer, who pitched the final two innings to get the win and help the Shoes improve to 8-2 on the spring season.

It was scoreless tie after the first four innings. The Shoes got on the scoreboard first in the fifth. Ruholl got a two-out single, went to second on a fielder’s choice and scored when Logan Roepke delivered a key RBI single. The Tigers tied the score with an unearned run in the bottom of the fifth.

Wermert and Addis both had two hits in T-Town’s seven-hit attack.

Cade Buehnerkemper was the starting pitcher for the Shoes and turned in 4.2 strong innings of work. He allowed only three hits and one unearned run. He walked one and struck out one. Pruemer got the final out in the fifth and pitched the final two innings to get the win. He only gave up one hit, while walking two and striking out one.

The Shoes will be back in action Saturday. They will open Apollo Conference play at Charleston. The first pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m.
