son Blomberg and one hit apiece by Yanko and Borchardt.

Borchardt and Annala combined on a five-inning no-hitter. Borchardt struck out four and walked one. Annala struck out three.

On Thursday in Prentice, Rib Lake scored 11 first-inning runs and coasted the rest of the way. The Redmen drew 11 walks in that inning, had one batter hit by a pitch and had just one hit.

That big start allowed Iverson to empty his bench quickly and get those players some solid game experience. Rib Lake scored seven more in the second for an 18-0 lead.

“They’re young and inexperienced,” Iverson said. “I give them credit for sticking with it and keeping their program going. Give them a couple years of playing and they’ll be OK.”

Logan Blomberg struck out seven and walked one in three scoreless innings. Jackson Blomberg pitched the last two innings. He walked four and allowed a hit and an earned run.

“It was good for Logan to get back out there and work on things,” Iverson said.

Offensively, Jackson Blomberg had two hits, Dalen Gebauer hit a two-run single and Patrick, Matyka and Thiede added hits.

“I was pleased because sometimes kids will get impatient and say I’m going to swing no matter what,” Iverson said. “We took 24 walks. They didn’t swing at bad pitches. When we got a strike we’d take a good swing at it. We just didn’t get many good pitches.”
