The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes scored early and often Tuesday afternoon, en route to a 16-0, five-inning victory at Woodlawn.

The Shoes banged out 10 hits, took advantage of six Woodlawn errors and were never threatened.

Derek Konkel was the recipient of all that support and made sure the Cardinals bats remained quiet. The right-hander allowed just one hit in four innings of work. He struck out 10 and didn’t walk a batter. Konkel retired the first 10 batters he faced before giving up a one-out single in the fourth. It was Woodlawn’s only baserunner.

The Shoes scored in every inning. They took a 2-0 lead in the first. Sam Bushur was hit by a pitch to start the game. He then stole second and scored on a base hit by Kayden Althoff. An error and a ground out by Brayden Gaddis accounted for the second run.

Bushur belted a two-run homer as part of a four-run second. Following Bushur’s blast, Mitch Althoff singled, stole second and scored on an RBI double by Kayden Althoff. An error let the fourth tally score.

The Shoes then combined two hits, three walks, a hit batter and three errors to push seven runs across in the third and build a 13-0 advantage. THS added a single tally in the fourth and scored the final two runs in the fifth.

Bushur, Caleb Bloemer, Mitch Althoff and Kayden Althoff each had two hits for the Shoes. Kayden Althoff drove in three runs, while Bushur, Bloemer and Gaddis had two RBI.

The win snapped a three-game losing skid and improved T-Town’s record to 2-5. The Shoes will return home Saturday for a doubleheader with North Clay. The first game is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
