Tomahawk East League

Unearned Runs the Story of the Night

7/3/13

The players and fans of the Tomahawk East League converged on Johnson Park in New Ulm on Wednesday night for the annual All-Star Game. The contest pitted the American Division All-Stars against the National Division All-Stars. Due to the game's close proximity to the July 4th holiday, several teams struggled to find players willing and able to participate in the contest. Nonetheless, all teams in the league were represented and they treated the nice crowd to a good ballgame, completed in just under two hours. Each team allowed just one earned run, but the Nationals took better advantage of their opponent's miscues and were victorious 5-3.

Chris Cariveau of the host New Ulm Brewers took the ball for the National Division and tossed a pair of scoreless innings. The American Division called on Shane Schoborg of Lamberton to take the bump. Schoborg's defense gave the Nationals an extra out in the bottom of the first. They took advantage when Hanska's Micade Thordson socked a two-run single.

Both team's went to the bullpen in the third with Adam Sellner from Stark and David Krause of St. James each posting scoreless innings for their respective clubs. Then Sellner had a tough top of the fourth, issuing three free passes, including a bases loaded walk. Krause helped himself when he legged out an infield single that put the Americans up 3-2.

The bottom of the inning saw another error that put the National Division back on top. After two were out, a dropped fly ball allowed two to score and put the Nationals back on top 4-3.

Solid pitching was on display for the remainder of the ballgame, Wade Werner of Gibbon put up zeros for the Americans in the fifth and sixth innings. Alex Frank of Springfield retired the side in order in the fifth for the Nationals.

Next out of the chute for the National Division was Brady Mosenden, who worked two perfect innings in the sixth and seventh. Matt Helget of Sleepy Eye took over in the bottom of the seventh for the American Division. He allowed three straight hits to begin the frame. This resulted in the Nationals fifth run of the game on an RBI base hit from Brady Ranweiler of the Brewers.

The scoring ceased with the tally at 5-3. Ian Drager of Searles put up a zero in the bottom of the eighth for the visitors. Craig Fischer and Cory Ranweiler tossed scoreless eighth and ninth innings for the host National Division.

Craig Fischer of the Stark Longhorns was the offensive leader in the game with three hits. Zach Fischer, Micade Thordson, and Kyle Krzmarzick each had two hits apiece for their teams. Adam Sellner picked up the win in an odd situation where he actually gave up the lead, but his team got it back before he was lifted from the ballgame. David Krause took the tough luck loss, giving up the two unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth. Cory Ranweiler earned a save by working around one hit in a scoreless ninth.

The Jeff Cook MVP Award went to Micade Thordson who went two-for-two at the plate and knocked in two runs. Thanks to New Ulm for welcoming the all of the Tomahawk East to town for a fun night of baseball! Best of luck to all the teams as they head down the homestretch of the regular season schedule with the league playoffs kicking off in just over three weeks! See you at the ballpark!
