MONROE - Wildness by Monroe starting pitcher Kris Rieder early on was tough to overcome as the Monroe Brewers' comeback bid fell short in an 8-6 loss to Blanchardville Friday in a Home Talent League game.
Rieder pitched 4 1/3 innings and gave up five runs while walking six. He walked five in the first two innings as Blanchardville (4-8) built an 8-2 lead.
"He (Rieder) had some control problems early and we got into too big of a hole to dig out of," Monroe manager Scott Marty said.
Monroe (3-9) came through with a four-run eighth. The big blow in the inning came on Monroe's Seth Dasher's three-run double to cut the Bullets' lead to 8-6.
Blanchardville's Michael Pleimling gave the Brewers fits. He struck out 12 to get the win. He also added two hits and one RBI. Monroe's Mitch Marty went 4-for-4 and teammates Scott White, Ben Korth and Cole Logemann each had one RBI.

WIOTA - It took four pitchers, but the Wiota baseball team was able to hang on for a 10-9 win over Platteville.
