By Greg Seubert
A fast added up to a Central Wisconsin Conference East Division win for the Iola-Scandinavia baseball team.
The Thunderbirds scored eight runs in the first two innings and cruised to a 14-0 five-inning win April 23 on the Indians’ home field.
Weyauwega-Fremont starter Wes Flease gave up only two hits in the first inning, but the T-Birds were able to score five runs before adding three more in the second, one in the third and five in the fifth.
Connor Kurki held the Indians to two hits and went the distance to pick up the win on the mound. He also had two of his team’s 11 hits and scored twice.
Alex Sharp added two hits, two runs and three RBIs; Bryce Huettner scored three times; Justin Sivertson scored twice; and Kellan Wandtke and Marcus Jaworski drove in two runs each.
Kolden Baehman and John Mueller had Weyauwega-Fremont’s hits.
The T-Birds improved to 4-0 in division play and 7-2 with the win, while the Indians fell to 2-8 overall and 2-4 in the division.
