Andy Niebrugge delivered a game-winning, two-run single in the top of the seventh inning Monday afternoon, lifting the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes to a 5-4 win at South Central.

The Shoes trailed 4-3 entering the final inning. Sam Bushur reached on an error, and Kayden Althoff and Evan Wermert both walked to load the bases with no outs. Niebrugge then drove a base hit to left field and Bushur and Althoff both raced home to put T-Town on top.

The Cougars did put two runners on base in the bottom of the seventh, but Derek Konkel retired the final two batters to secure the victory.

The Shoes broke on top in the first inning. Bushur reached on an error and Althoff was hit by a pitch. Wermert ripped a two-run double and eventually scored on a fly ball off the bat of Evan Addis to stake THS to a quick 3-0 lead.

South Central scored a pair of runs in the fourth and pushed two more across in the fifth to go ahead 4-3.

Konkel relieved in fifth and got the win. He allowed just one hit over his 2.2 innings of work. He walked four and struck out five. Hayden Ruholl started and went the first 4.1 innings. He gave ups six hits and four runs, while walking three and striking out two.

The Shoes have won seven of their last eight games and improved to 11-3. They will be back in action today (Tuesday) at home against Lincoln in an Apollo Conference game.
