Teutopolis Sweeps Two to Move Above .500; BSE Wins E-I Tournament

Teutopolis won the opener, heard on KJ Country 102.3, 3-2, then took the nightcap 4-1. The Wooden Shoes are now 9-8 on the campaign. Altamont is now 10-6. 

Teutopolis won the opener on a bases loaded walk to Derek Konkel who, ironically, was the winning pitcher for the Shoes. Altamont had walked Kayden Althoff intentionally to load the bases ahead of the walk to Konkel. 

Teutopolis scored its other two runs in the third inning when with one out Sam Bushur doubled. Following a ground out, consecutive singles by Kayden Althoff and Derek Konkel brought home Bushur and Althoff. 

Altamont scored in the third on a leadoff single by Dillan Elam and a sacrifice fly by Nathan Stuemke. They added their other run on a single by Jared Hammer, a hit batsman, and a base hit by Elam. 

Both starting pitchers went the distance. Konkel allowed the two Altamont runs on seven hits and struck out seven without issuing a walk. Altamont starter Tyler Robbins went 6-2/3 innings, allowing the three runs on five hits and didn't issue a walk until the two in the seventh inning. He struck out two batters.
