Interwald 9, Pittsville 0
Peter Devine was brilliant on the pitching mound and the offense finally put the game out of reach with a sevenrun rally in the eighth in Interwald’s 9-0 home win over Pittsville in the make-up date of a June 25 postponement.
Devine went the distance in the shutout win, working around eight hits and one hit batter. The River Bandits stranded seven runners, had one of its runners picked off in the sixth and had another wiped out on a double play in the eighth. Devine struck out three.
Interwald left five runners on base in the first four innings before breaking through in the fifth with a two-out rally. David Fliehs singled and Matt Mohr and Craig Scheithauer smacked back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0.
That would wind up being enough to win, but the Woodticks made sure in the eighth. They loaded the bases with one out and a costly error by Pittsville scored two. Logan Blomberg’s three-run triple was the capper to the big inning.
Sam Gumz and Scheithauer both went two for four for Interwald in the win. The Woodticks had seven hits and drew 10 walks, finally cashing in on some of those in the eighth.
With the three make-up games getting played Sunday, Interwald’s suspended game with Rib Lake is now the only Small Division game that has not been finished so far. The Woodticks are at Tomahawk Saturday for a 6 p.m. first pitch.
