ALBANY - Juda's baseball team avenged a 21-8 early-season loss to Albany with a 15-0 win Monday.

"This was a big win for us tonight," Juda coach Kyle Krueger said. "Albany kind of let us have it the first time we played. This time we were able to turn the tables on them."

Juda (4-5, 4-2 Six Rivers East) scored five runs in the second inning off three hits and three errors.

"Errors killed us again," Albany coach Brian Dahl said. "We stunk up the joint. But give Juda credit - they came into our place and did what they had to do to win."

Juda added a run in both the third and fourth innings and plated eight runs in a wild seventh inning, which included seven hits and three walks.

Beau Benner held Albany to five hits and two walks, striking out 10 in six innings of work. Aaron Duecker pitched the seventh for Juda, striking out two.

"Once again our pitchers threw strikes and we made the plays on defense. This was another game where everyone contributed in a positive way," Krueger said.

Benner was 3-for-5 at the dish with a double and two RBI. Jacob Ramos had a double, a triple, and three RBI for the Panthers. Steven West was 2-5, Duecker 2-4, Bryan Bauman was 3-3 with a double and brother Brandon Bauman was 2-4 with a home run and three RBI.

Albany's Bryce Hulbert took the loss on the hill, allowing 16 hits and four walks, while striking out five hitters.

Tyler Briggs and Brandon Pfeuti each had a double for the Comets (6-5, 2-4).

Argyle 4,

Black Hawk 3

ARGYLE - Andy Bohlman pitched a complete game for the Orioles, striking out 12 hitters and allowing just three hits and one earned run as Argyle came away with a win in what was a rubber match Monday.

Black Hawk's Payton Schliem kept Argyle in check, striking out 13 hitters and walking just one, while allowing five hits and two earned runs.

"Pitching was the biggest part of the game," Argyle coach Travis Erickson said.

Argyle committed six errors, but still managed to keep the Warriors off the board much of the game.

"It was just one of those nights," Erickson said of the errors.

The Warriors scored one in the first and two in the fifth. Argyle scored two unearned runs in the first and two runs in the second on its only hits of the game.

Bohlman had an RBI double and scored two runs. Kevin Berg also had an RBI for the Orioles.

Barneveld 5, Monticello 0

BARNEVELD - Monticello senior Brandon Holz was uncharacteristically wild and Barneveld took advantage.

Holz walked the leadoff batter in the fourth and the Eagles followed with four straight singles to spark a three-run inning.

Holz pitched four innings and gave up four runs on six hits.

"Bubba (Holz) was off and walked a few more than he usually does," Monticello coach Jason Pinnow said.

Monticello sophomore Corey McGowan pitched three innings in relief and gave up just one earned run. Monticello drops to 3-5, 2-3 in the Six Rivers East.

Barneveld, ranked No. 1 in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association Division 4 poll, limited the Ponies to just two hits, including a double by Michael Elzen.
