Wausaukee Bats Get Hot in Win Over STAA

Area Baseball

The Wausaukee Ranger baseball team posted a good win off some great hitting Monday evening 13-1.

"We put the ball in play," said Wausaukee Coach Jon Betts. "I thought our pitching was nice. We threw good strikes. Had a couple errors but it was pretty clean. STAA came out to hit tonight"

The Rangers got things rolling in the first frame off a Connor Schroeder single. Kamden Stumbris reached base after getting hit by a pitch and Schroeder made it home off a Will Koester single. Stumbris scored off an error for a 2-0 lead.

Wausaukee started the scoring up again in the third inning with four additional runs. Those runs were tallied by Koester, Prestin Brunette, Danny Suennen and Christian Deschane.

Koester and Brunette both scored again in the fourth.

STAA got on the board in the fifth inning when Yother singled and was later brought home off a Piasecki single.

"The guys have grown a lot so far this season," said STAA head coach Jack Farley. "The last time we played this team we gave up 14 runs in the first inning. We still have improvements to make but things are looking better."

Wausaukee wrapped things up with  five runs in the sixth inning.

"Number one thing is you have to throw good strikes," said Betts. "You can't just give them free bases. I thought we pitched well tonight. We hit too many balls into the air tonight so we are going to need to work on that."

Wausaukee's Brunette took the pitching win allowing one hit and one earned run while Striking out five.

"Alot of these guys haven't played a whole lot of baseball over their lives, said Farley. "And only having the half season of practice that they have had, just helps a ton. We just need to get outside more, we have only had three outside practices."
