Cowboys get first win of season over CAL 10-3

The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows varsity baseball team has been getting closer to breaking into the win column on the right night, and that night came last Tuesday in a 10-3 home win over CAL. The red and black gave new head skipper Nick Willwerth his first win as well by plating three runs each in the first, second and fourth innings.

Several guys had good nights at the plate, with Jarrod Littlejohn bringing the biggest lumber in going 3 of 4 including two doubles. He drove in a run and scored twice. Zach Leist was equally up to the task at hand, going 2 of 4 with four RBI and a run scored. Will Weidemann was not far behind them on the score sheet, batting for 2 of 3 including a double and scoring three runs. Bryce Tegtmeyer doubled for his only contact and drove in a run, while Jacob O’Connor had a base hit and an RBI. Calen Rosenbaum, Brendon Boyd, Tyler Stein and Zach Frye all contributed a single each to the 13-total hits attack. For both Tegtmeyer and Stein, it was their first varsity hits. Rosenbaum crossed the dish for three scores, with Boyd scoring once. O’Connor showed his speed on the base paths with three steals on the night, while both Rosenbaum and Eryn Ulven managed one each.

O’Connor notched the win on the hill, going the distance with no earned runs allowed on a three-hitter. He walked four and flamed 12 K’s across the plate in a nice performance.
