Sheboygan Wins Battle of the “A’s”, 3-2
Posted: May 25, 2023
Brad Rindfleisch struck out 10 in his first outing of the season, and Harry Steldt drew a bases loaded walk in the top of the 9th as the Sheboygan A’s rallied from an early 2-0 hole to win 3-2 Wednesday night over the Kewaskum A’s.
The win was the opener of the Northeastern Wisconsin Baseball League for both teams.

Tied 2-2 in the ninth, Riley Palmquist (Marian University) led things off with a line drive single to left. After a strikeout, Bennet Becker (Carroll College) singled to right and advanced to second on an error, allowing Palmquist to get to third. A four-pitch walk to Gus Walker (Marian University) loaded the bases. An infield fly kept the runners stranded with two outs, until Steldt came to the plate. Going down 0-2 in the count, Steldt remained patient, taking four straight balls for the go-ahead run.
