AMATEUR BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Wilmont, Hadley each pick up amateur wins

WILMONT — If Justin Saufley had any doubts about receiving enough run support to pick up the victory for Wilmont in an amateur baseball game against the Luverne Redbirds on Tuesday, his teammates extinguished them in the third inning.

The Cardinals scored 10 runs in the frame, setting up an eventual 15-2 victory in seven innings.

Saufley (five innings pitched, one earned run, four strikeouts) picked up the win and Joe Ahrens (two innings, one earned run, four strikeouts) finished the game in relief.

Steven Kramer made a big impact on offense for Wilmont by going 1-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored. Adam Diekmann was 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks, Stuart Rogers was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored and Jay Scheidt was 1-for-1.

The Cardinals (10-2) host Hadley today.
