Baseball: Post 83 Third at Tourney
sheboygan press staff • June 22, 2009
There was only one team that Sheboygan Legion's Post 83 baseball team had a tough time handling during a tournament in Escanaba, Mich. Other than De Pere, things went OK.
Sheboygan went 4-2 on the weekend and took third place in the tournament. The only blemishes were two big losses to De Pere by the run rule scores of 14-3 and 16-2.
After winning the first two games on Friday, Post 83 split four games on Saturday and Sunday to take third place.
After opening Saturday with the first loss to De Pere, Post 83 rebounded with a whopping 16-3 victory over Gladstone, Mich., to remain alive in the tournament. Sheboygan pounded out 17 hits in the victory, including a grand slam and five RBI from Jake Ristow (who had three hits), a four-hit game from Josh Gruenke and three hits from Jared Gruenke. Ryan Eigenberger was solid on the mound with a five-hitter, allowing two earned runs.
Post 83 won another elimination game Sunday morning, doubling up Manitowoc 10-5 behind five strong innings from Sam Raff (four unearned runs) and the bats of Jared Gruenke (3-for-4 with five RBI) and Matt Hendricks (2-for-4 with an RBI).
Post 83 then needed to beat De Pere to advance to the title game, but lost. Josh Gruenke, slated to pitch the game, departed early with a swollen thumb and a depleted pitching staff struggled.
Post 83 is 7-5 on the season and returns home to play Manitowoc on Tuesday.
