Defense Falters as A’s Drop Game in West Allis
Posted: June 7, 2023
Six defensive errors and six walks didn’t do the A’s any favors Tuesday night as they dropped a road matchup to the West Allis Nationals 14-9.
Leading the high-scoring contest 9-6 through four innings, the Nationals score eight in the final five innings to grab the victory, in a game that lasted over 3.5 hours.
The loss drops the A’s record to 2-4 in the Wisconsin State League. They now sit at 8-6 overall with another road matchup coming up Thursday in Menasha in a Northeastern Wisconsin League game. The A’s are 1-1 in the NEWBL.
Jimmy Juergensen (Concordia University-Wisconsin) lead the A’s offensively Tuesday night, getting two hits and two runs scored. Riley Palmquist (Marian University) and Kyle Flynn (Concordia University-Wisconsin) each recorded doubles.
A base hit from Juergensen followed from a double from Flynn! Schnell batting with runners in scoring position with no outs. #GoAsGo
