Game Summary

Evansville's second league game in 23 years was just up Hwy 14 to Oregon. The weather was a sharp contrast from last week's season opener in Evansville. It was also Mother's Day, in which there were about 5 moms in attendance in Evansville's cheering section.

The blaring statistic of this week's game was that Evansville batters struck out 16 times. Oregon's Eric Engler struck out 6 of the first 9 Evansville batters. However, the team (and even the fans) agreed that despite the box score statistics there was visible improvement over last week.

Evansville's two runs came in the top of the seventh inning when Jason Schultz and Nic Larson were on base due to walks; Ben Kraus hit a clutch 2-out double that scored both runners.

This week the Evansville Home Talent Team would like to recognize their Diamond sponsors: R.A. Heating & Air Conditioning, The Baumberger Shop, and Double D Builders. Next week will be the Gold sponsors. A complete list of sponsors is listed on the team's website at www.evansville.hometalent.org.

Evansville's next two games are on the road. The scrimmage game scheduled Thursday, May 12 at Monona has postponed to be scheduled at a later date. Instead, Evansville will scrimmage at New Glarus Thursday, May 12 starting at 7:00 pm.

The next league game is Sunday, May 15 at Orfordville starting at 1:00 pm. This should be an exciting game because Evansville has three players that played for Orfordville last year (Brookes Baumberger, Nick Manion, Tim Legler). For the latest schedule and results please visit the team's website.
