The Sheboygan A’s got a brilliand pitching performance from Eric Van Beck and some outstanding at bats from the bottom half of the line-up to get back on the winning trail.

They return to action tonight against Oshkosh at Wildwood Park in a game that counts in both the Northeastern and Wisconsin State League standings. It is AAA Travel and Insurance Night tonight with the AAA staff promising a load of prizes for fans.
The A’s broke up a 0-0 tie in the fifth with leadoff hits by Jordan Rennicke and Alex Erdmann, a sacrifice bunt by Phil Kramsky and a sacrifice fly by Taylor Schwarz.
They scored their second run in the seventh with Rennicke, ERdmann and Kramsky stringing three straight hits together.
