GREEN BAY – The Marshfield Post 54 Senior American Legion baseball team finished 1-3 at the Green Bay Southwest Tournament on Friday and Saturday.
Following a 2½-hour rain delay, Marshfield lost both of its games Friday, falling to Fond du Lac 5-3 and Green Bay Southwest 8-5. The Blue Devils won their opener in walk-off fashion against Sheboygan 4-3 on Saturday before dropping a 5-4 decision to Fond du Lac in nine innings to close out the tournament.
Marshfield is now 5-11 this season.
In the opener Friday against Fond du Lac, Marshfield had just four hits, two by Tragen Bogdonovich. Ben Gust and Isaiah Baierl had RBIs in the loss.
Against Southwest, Marshfield scored four times in the top of the first before Southwest came back with four in the bottom of the frame and scored three times in its final two at-bats to grab the victory.
Baierl and Riley Boushack each had two hits, and Boushack had two RBIs in the loss for Marshfield.
In the Blue Devils’ lone win of the tournament, they had to come from behind.
Jacob Neese hit a two-run homer in the first inning for Sheboygan in Saturday’s opener, and Marshfield fell behind 3-0 before clawing back.
Boushack had an RBI single in the third inning and Marshfield tied the game in the fourth when Jacob Earll doubled home Preston Wagner, and Monte Diestler scored on a ground out by Eli Drexler.
The score remained tied until Marshfield won it in the bottom of the seventh. Drexler reached on an error, went to third on a single by Baierl, and scored on a single by Boushack to give the Blue Devils the walk-off win.
Coffren tossed a complete game two-hitter for Marshfield to earn the win.
The opposite happened in Game 2 on Saturday as Marshfield couldn’t hold on to a 3-0 lead and fell in nine innings to Fond du Lac.
Devyn Palmer had an RBI sacrifice fly and Coffren doubled in a run to give Marshfield a quick 2-0 lead in the first.
Coffren had an RBI groundout in the third to give the Blue Devils a 3-0 lead before Fond du Lac rallied, scoring once in the fourth and twice in the fifth to tie it.
After Marshfield scored in the sixth on an RBI single by Drexler, Fond du Lac tied it in the seventh on a two-out RBI single by Wyrobed.
The game remained tied going into extra innings before Fond du Lac pitcher Sam Hernandez delivered a sacrifice fly to give them the lead.
Hernandez then retired Marshfield in order in the bottom of the ninth to finish off the complete-game victory.
Marshfield hosts D.C. Everest in a Wisconsin Valley Legion League game Monday at 7 p.m. at Jack Hackman Field.
