Derek Loomans pitched about as well as the Sheboygan A’s could have hoped for in the team’s home opener.
Unfortunately the gem had to come against against five-time Northeastern Wisconsin League pitcher of the year Jason Wierschke.
Allowing
no hits through five innings, Wierschke held the A’s to a pair of hits
as Sheboygan kicked off a four-game homestand with a 2-1 loss to the
defending NWL champion Menasha Macs 2-1 on Friday night.
Chad
Langley had a single in the sixth inning for Sheboygan, which enters
today’s doubleheader against the West Allis Nationals at 1-1 overall and
1-1 in the NWL.
Harry Steldt hit a double in the seventh inning
for Sheboygan’s other hit. Blake Fleischman scored Cole Heili on a
fielder’s choice later in the inning.
Loomans pitched eight innings and allowed six hits with Taylor Ditter pitching a perfect ninth for the A’s.
Bryce
Taylor and Brandon Winfield will start in today’s doubleheader, which
will kick off with a 4:15 p.m. ceremony to dedicate Wildwood Baseball
Park’s new scoreboard.
First pitch is slated for 5 p.m.
