WIOTA - The Wiota Home Talent Baseball team finished up their Thursday night schedule Thursday, Aug. 1, scoring 10 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to power their way to a 13-10, come-from-behind win over Shullsburg.
Shullsburg opened the scoring in the first inning, scoring one run off Wiota starter Taylor Wiegel. The Indians answered with three runs in the bottom of the second, but Shullsburg pushed their lead to 9-3 going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That was when the Indians turned things around.
Wiota knocked around Shullsburg's Kyle Hoppman for ten runs, on six hits and four walks. Shullsburg answered with one run in the top of the fifth but ultimately could not close the gap.
Zak Keister led the Indians offensively, going 2-for-2, and Brad Schliem and Jason Boll knocked in two RBI apiece.
On the mound, Wiegel pitched three innings and allowed nine runs on nine hits and four walks. Wiegel was relieved by Jason Singer, who went three innings and gave up one run on two hits and a walk while striking out three.
Finishing the season at 5-4, Wiota did not qualify for the playoffs in the Thursday night league. However, the Indians' Sunday night team will compete in the Home Talent League Western Section playoffs, beginning with their first round game Sunday, Aug. 4 against Monroe. The game will be held in Wiota, beginning at 1 p.m.
