The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes traveled to St. Joseph on Saturday and split a pair of games.

In the opener, the St. Joe-Ogden Spartans banged out 10 hits, en route to a 12-2, five-inning victory.

In the second game, the Shoes bounced back to beat Lisle 7-2.

In the first game, SJO took an 2-0 lead in the opening inning, but the Shoes came back to tie it in the third. Sam Bushur led off with a base hit and scored on a double by Derek Konkel. A ground ball by Dylan Pruemer drove in Konkel with the tying run.

But the Spartans then scored six runs in the bottom of the third and added two tallies in both the fourth and fifth.

Kayden Althoff was the starting pitcher for THS and took the loss. He allowed just one hit, but walked five and allowed six runs in his two innings of work. Ben Goeckner and Cade Buehnerkemper also pitched.

The Shoes used a five-run sixth inning to take control against Lisle. They held a slim 2-1 edge entering the sixth, but then combined five hits and four walks to cross the plate five times. Pruemer, Mitch Althoff and Joey Ruholl each singled to load the bases. One run scored on a fielder’s choice, two came home on a double by Bushur and the final two tallies came home on bases loaded walks.

Bushur pitched the first four innings and got the win. He gave up just one hit and one run. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out three. Caleb Siemer pitched the final three innings.

T-Town is now 4-2 this spring. The Shoes will play today (Monday) at Effingham. Game time is 4:30 p.m.

Mahomet-Seymour’s pitching was very good.

But the pitchers for Teutopolis were just a little bit better.

Derek Konkel and Dylan Pruemer combined to throw a two-hit shutout and the Shoes managed to push across a run in the sixth inning to post a 1-0 victory at home Monday afternoon.

With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Konkel, Max Niebrugge and Pruemer drew back-to-back-to-back walks to load the bases. Mitch Althoff’s ground ball then drove home Konkel with what proved to be the winning run.

The Bulldogs tried to tie or take the lead in the top of the seventh. A single and two walks loaded the bases with one out, but Pruemer struck out the final two batters to preserve the shutout and the win.

Konkel went the first four innings, allowing one hit and a walk, while striking out eight. Pruemer relieved in the fifth and pitched the final three innings. He also gave up a hit and three walks, but struck out six to gain the victory.

The Shoes were also limited to two hits in the contest. Logan Roepke had a two-out single in the second and Caleb Siemer had a one-out base hit in the fourth.

T-Town improved to 2-1 on the young season. The Shoes will be back in action today (Tuesday) with a game at Breese Mater Dei.

The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes didn’t let an early 4-0 deficit deter them.

The Shoes rallied to score the next eight runs, en route to a 10-7 win Tuesday afternoon at Breese Mater Dei.

T-Town trailed 4-0 after the first two innings, but started the comeback in the third. Caleb Siemer started things with a base hit and then scored on a double by Sam Bushur. The second run scored on a wild pitch, and then with two outs, Conner Siemer singled and Dylan Pruemer delivered a two-run single to tie the score.

The Shoes took the lead with a pair of two-run frames in the fourth and fifth. Bushur had another RBI double in the fourth and Siemer had a two-run double in the fifth. THS capped its scoring when Caleb Bloemer came through with a two-run double in the seventh.

Bushur was the starter and got the win. He went the first four innings, allowing seven hits and four runs. Cade Buehnerkemper pitched the fifth and Caleb Siemer pitched the final two innings to record the save.

T-Town improved to 3-1 on the young season. The Shoes will be back in action Saturday when they travel to St. Joe-Ogden.

The fall baseball season didn’t end like they hoped, but the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes went down battling.

Trailing by three runs heading to the bottom of the seventh inning, the Shoes scored twice and had the bases loaded before the final out was recorded.

As a result, Windsor/Stew-Stras hung on for a 6-5 victory, snapping the Shoes seven-game winning streak.

With one out in the seventh, Logan Roepke, Dylan Pruemer and Caleb Siemer drew back-to-back-to-back walks to load the bases. Cade Buehnerkemper’s fly ball drove in one run. Luke Koester then walked to re-load the bases and Sam Bushur’s ground ball was booted for an error, allowing the second run to score. Mitch Althoff then grounded out to end the threat and the game.

The Shoes played from behind the entire game. The Hatchets combined four hits and a walk to tally four times in the opening inning.

But T-Town battled back. They scored an unearned run in the bottom of the first and then added single tallies in the third and sixth to close to within 4-3.

In the third, Bushur was hit by a pitch to start the inning and Mitch Althoff followed with an RBI triple. Kayden Althoff then walked, but WSS starting pitcher Gavin Wernsing struck out the next three batters to end the inning.

In the sixth, Buehnerkemper got a one-out single, went to second on a ground out and scored on a base hit by Bushur.

The Hatchets then tacked on two runs in the top of the seventh.

Wernsing went the first three innings to get the win. Derek Konkel pitched the first six innings for THS and took the loss. He allowed nine hits and five runs, while striking out four and walking two. Kayden Althoff got the final three outs in the seventh.

The Shoes ended the season strong. They won 10 of their final 12 games to finish with a 13-9 record. Their 2022 spring season will open March 15 at home against Neoga.
