Babe Ruth roundup
Rhinelander 3 falls to Merrill Gray, loses Marquardt Division title
Babe Ruth roundup
Rhinelander 3 had the top of its lineup at bat to start the ninth inning and Jacob DeMeyer drew a leadoff walk. He then stole back-to-back bases to reach third, but was left stranded after Rhinelander's offense stalled.
Merrill Gray went to bat in the bottom half of the inning and started off with a leadoff single. DeMeyer, who was pitching for the Hodags, retired the next batter. A stolen base led the runner at first to second base and then the Hodags intentionally walked the next two batters to load thebases with one out. The fifth batter to step to the plate for Merrill drove a hard ground ball past DeMeyer and no one was able to make a play. The hit drove in the winning run for Merrill Gray ending the game after nine innings of play 11-10.
Meanwhile, in Tomahawk, Eagle River edged the Cardinals 3-2 putting both Eagle River and Rhinelander 3 at 9-3 on the season. Eagle River was credited with the Marquardt Division title based on a fewer number of losses inside the division and will play Lakeland at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in Rhinelander for the regular season championship.
