Caleb Siemer, fresh off his walk-off 10^th inning double Thursday, was back at it Friday.

He blasted a three-run homer and drove in four runs total, helping the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes post their fourth straight win, a 10-5 decision at home over Centralia.

It was also a special day for Kayden Althoff. After tearing his ACL in a basketball game in December, the senior got to bat for the first time Friday afternoon and made the most of it. He went 2-for-4 and belted a long solo home run in the sixth inning.

After the Orphans took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, the Shoes took control with a five-run second.

Mitch Althoff led off by drawing a walk. Dylan Pruemer and Garrett Gaddis both singled to load the bases with no outs. Siemer drove in the first run with a fielder’s choice. With two outs, Max Niebrugge delivered an RBI single, followed by a two-run double by Sam Bushur and another run-scoring double by Cade Buehnerkemper to cap the inning.

T-Town broke it open with a three-run third – thanks to Siemer. Mitch Althoff reached on an error and Pruemer reached base when he swung and missed on strike three, but the ball got away from the catcher. Siemer then drove a 1-2 pitch over the leftfield fence to increase the lead to 8-1.

Pruemer was the winning pitcher. He went the first five innings, allowing three hits and four runs. He walked four and struck out seven. Ben Goeckner and Siemer combined to pitch the final two innings.

The Shoes improved to 10-5 on the season. They will return to action today (Saturday), traveling to Nashville, and then return home Monday to face South Central.

Garrett Gaddis also walked to force in the first run of the inning and Cade Buehnerkemper followed with a two-run single. After an error and a walk load the bases again, Logan Roepke was hit by a pitch to force in another run. The fifth run of the inning scored on a wild pitch.
