At Stewardson

Windsor/Stewardson-Strasburg pulled out a 1-0 win over Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City in 11 innings of junior high baseball Friday.

"It was a fantastically played junior high baseball game," said CHBC Coach Brock Friese. "Both teams pitched and played defense extremely well."

The two teams went scoreless through 10 innings before WSS tallied a single run in the bottom of the 11th for the win. WSS' hurler, Jackson Gurgel, struck out 14 batters in his seven innings of work. WSS' relief pitcher Dirk Friese was equally dominating with seven strikeouts in four frames.

CHBC's pitchers Kyle Lamb and Wyatt Rueff struck out seven each.

Carter Verdeyen singled in the 11th for Windsor/Stew-Stras and stole second. Beals laid down a sacrifice bunt. In an attempt to get Beals out, CHBC threw to first but the throw tipped off the top of the first baseman's glove and Verdeyen came in to score. That was the lone error for CHBC.

Both teams had five hits. WSS had singles by Colton Bridges, Kendal Morris, Carter Verdeyen, Hank Verdeyen and Blaze Verdeyen.

CHBC was led by Kaidyn Calame and AJ Radloff with two singles each. CHBC dropped to 2-2 in the National Trail Conference, 2-3 overall.
