The Effingham Hearts edged the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes 3-2 Tuesday in softball action at EHS. The game was heard on KJ Country 102.3 and www.kjcountry.com

 

Effingham broke on top in the bottom of the first inning. Emma Budde singled to start the inning and ended up on third base via an error, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Carsyn Fearday.

The game remained 1-0 until the top of the fifth, when the Shoes tied things up. A leadoff walk to Abby Bloemer, a ground ball, a hit by pitch and a walk pushed Bloemer to third from where she scored on a sacrifice fly by Alli Brumleve.

Effingham bounced right back in the bottom of the fifth, though, to regain the lead. 

With one out, Jaidi Davis singled, followed by three more singles by Skyler Schafer, Emma Huss and Emma Budde that made it 2-1. A sacrifice fly by Lauryn Douthit made it a 3-1 game.

Teutopolis tried to come back in the seventh, with Bloemer again leading off the inning via a base on balls. After two strikeouts, Allie Niebrugge came up and doubled to left, scoring Bloemer to make it 3-2, Alli Brumleve ground out to end the game.

Jaidi Davis went the distance for the win for Effingham, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks, hitting two batters and tossing a wild pitch while striking out 10 batters.

Alli Brumleve took the loss, giving up three runs, two earned, on six hits, walking one and fanning three.
