Teutopolis decided this win in the opening inning as the Wooden Shoes handed Effingham a 7-1 high school baseball loss Monday in a game heard on KJ Country 102.3.
The Wooden Shoes pushed ahead 3-0 in the first inning. Leadoff hitter Davin Worman singled to open the frame. He was sacrificed over by Aiden Niemerg. Jason Kreke and Austin Borries then followed with back-to-back singles. Nolen Schumacher hit a sacrifice that produced an RBI.
