By Ginna Young

Cadott’s Red Sox Baseball team was in action June 2, at home, for a double header against the Eau Claire Rivermen, taking a pair of victories from the Chippewa River Baseball League (CRBL) set.

In game one of the series, Cadott put five runs on the board in the second inning, with back-to-back solo homers from Logan Burzynski and Ely Johnson, followed by Chad Kron, with a two-run homer, before adding another two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth.

The Rivermen got on the board in the sixth inning, with a run, then had two more cross the plate in the seventh, but it wasn’t enough and the Sox claimed an 8-3 victory.

Warren Bowe was on the mound for just over five innings for the Red Sox, but had to be pulled, because of a high pitch count, allowing just a single hit and one lone run, while striking out 10 batters, in his first CRBL win.

“Had a no-hitter, through five innings,” said manager Rick Danielson.

Alex Schmidt then went over an inning, giving up 5 hits and runs, and striking out 2.

Offensively, Jack Kein notched 2 hits, with a hit each going to Bennett Bowe, Luke Erickson, Carter Hesselman, Jack Redwine, Burzynski, Johnson and Kron.

Heading to the second game of the set, it was all Cadott, as they had four runs cross the plate in the second inning, along with two more in the third, three in the fourth and another in the fifth inning, for a 10-0 shutout of the Rivermen.

Zack Thiesse was at the helm this time for the Sox, going all five innings and allowing just 4 hits, while striking out 2 batters. He’s now 4-1 on the season, in 37.2 innings pitched.

Erickson and Hesselman each came up with 2 hits, while Johnson hit his second home run of the day. Bowe, Kein, Redwine and Jonah Hanson all chipped in with a hit.

The Sox are now 5-3 on the year in the North Division.
