The Marshfield Post 54 American Legion Senior baseball team saw its losing skid reach four games with a pair of losses Thursday and Friday.
Marshfield lost a Wisconsin Valley Legion League game to Stevens Point 4-1 on Thursday at home at Jack Hackman Field, then followed that up with a 6-2 non-league defeat at Waupaca on Friday.
Against Stevens Point, Marshfield scored first with a run in the second inning as Chandler Schmidt scored on a single by Jaeger Johnson.
Stevens Point quickly responded with two runs in the third inning on an RBI single from Justin Morton on a steal of home by Brady Franz on a double steal.
The Sixers plated two more in the fourth and their 4-1 lead held from there. Isaac Cychosz threw a complete game for Stevens Point, allowing just four hits while striking out three.
On Friday, Waupaca had single tallies in the first and fourth innings to take a 2-0 lead before Marshfield rallied to the tie with two in the fifth.
Preston Wagner delivered the big blow with a two-out single to score Riley Boushack and Tragen Bogdonivich.
Five-straight singles and a fielder’s choice groundout led to a four-run sixth for Waupaca, and pitcher Adam Kennedy finished off a complete game by sending down the Blue Devils in order in the seventh.
Marshfield will play a pair of non-league doubleheaders at home this weekend. The Blue Devils host Holmen at 1 p.m. Saturday and Onalaska at noon on Sunday.
