With one out, Bryce Bohnhoff singled. Dominic Ashley followed with a single. Gavin Meinhart hit the third single in a row and the bases were loaded. Bohnhoff came home on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Hall then grounded out and Dieterich scored a second run. The Maroons tallied the third run on a single by Jackson Icenogle.<\/p>\n<p>Effingham came back within 3-1 in the bottom of the first. Westin Hayes got busy. He drew a walk then stole second. He went to third, also on a steal, and he came home on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where the offense for both teams stood. Effingham got two on in the second but left them stranded. The Hearts again had a runner on base in the third but once again the outs came leaving one on board.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dieterich stranded a runner in the second before going up and down in order in the third, fourth and fifth innings.<\/p>\n<p>Effingham put two runners on in the fourth as Brayden Tucker doubled and Keegan Koester and Wyatt Hayes drew back-to-back walks but couldn&#8217;t get anyone home.<\/p>\n<p>The Hearts finally moved ahead in the fifth. Andrew Wagoner slammed a home run.<\/p>\n<p>Dieterich rumbled in the sixth. With one out, Gavin Meinhart singled followed by a single off the bat of Andrew Hall. Meinhart took third on a wild pitch. Justin Boerngen drew a walk to load the bases. But the Hearts got out of the frame on a ground out.<\/p>\n<p>EHS tacked on two more runs in the sixth. Keegan Koester reached on an error. With two outs, Wagoner drew a walk. Carter Braddy then followe with a double and that scored both runners.<\/p>\n<p>The Hearts then put Dieterich up and down in order in the seventh for the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Wyatt Hayes earned the win on the mound. He came on to pitch in the third inning and went five innings giving up two hits, one walk while striking out eight.<\/p>\n<p>Dieterich will travel to Pana Saturday for a 10 a.m. contest.
