Kennedy scored on Borchardt’s double down the leftfield line. After a wild pitch, Borchardt scored on Logan Blomberg’s sacrifice fly. Newman pitcher Joshua Klement ended it by getting Scheithauer to ground out.

Yanko and Jackson Blomberg both went two for three as Rib Lake had eight hits. Annala started on the mound and went four innings, allowing six hits and six walks while striking out three. Borchardt pitched three scoreless relief innings, striking out three, walking two and allowing two hits.

After an impressive 4-0 shutout win at Abbotsford-Colby on May 4, Rib Lake was unable to complete the sweep over their North rivals, falling 10-4 Thursday in Rib Lake.

The Redmen committed five errors, walked five batters, hit another and, offensively, left 13 runners on base.

The game was tied 2-2 going into the third when Abby-Colby put up a fourspot. The visitors scored one in the fifth and got three in the sixth, including a solo homer from Ross Elmhorst.

Rib Lake tied the game in the bottom of the first but the inning could have been much bigger. The Redmen loaded the bases with no outs, but only got bases- loaded walks from Scheithauer and Yanko to drive in the runs.

Logan Blomberg walked in the third and scored on Yanko’s double. Yanko singled and scored an unearned run in the fifth to make it 7-4.

Logan Blomberg took the loss, allowing seven runs, three of which were earned. He gave up only five hits. Jake Matyka pitched the last two innings and allowed two earned runs and three hits. He struck out two and walked two.

Yanko was three for three. Scheithauer and Wudi had the only other hits.

In the 4-0 win on May 4, Rib Lake got clutch hits late to support the two-hit pitching of Scheithauer, who struck out 10.

With the game scoreless going into the sixth, Thiede broke up Hunter Soyk’s nohit bid with a leadoff double, went to third on Logan Blomberg’s hit and scored on a wild pitch. After Scheithauer walked and Ryan Patrick grounded out, Yanko drove in Blomberg with a groundout.

Wudi singled to lead off the seventh, Jackson Blomberg reached on an error and Abbotsford misplayed a sacrifice bunt by Gumz, allowing a run to score. Logan Blomberg added a sacrifice fly.

Soyk went five-plus innings and struck out eight hitters while walking four. He left having allowed two hits and was charged with two earned runs. Marco Olvera allowed two unearned runs and a hit while striking out one and walking two in two innings.

“Abby’s not bad,” Iverson said. “I think they’re 7-2 and when we saw them we saw four guys throw and they all threw pretty well. They put the ball in play and they play good defense.”
