RUSSELL — Tyler Wichmann’s homerun and Russell-Tyler-Ruthton’s deep pitching talent shined again in a 6-1 win over Tracy-Milroy-Balaton Tuesday night. Kolby Louwagie tossed 11 strikeouts and allowed just two hits in his five innings on the mound.

The Knights’ plate appearence was also a strength in the win, with Isaac Janish, Levi Tommeraasen and Quinn Valdez each hitting a double to pair with Wichmann’s fourth-inning single homer.

The fourth inning is where RTR took control of the game with four runs. After Wichmann started the rally, Brayden Chandler scored the next run on a Janish RBI double. Colton Chandler then scored on a Tommeraasen sacrifice fly, and Janish scored the final run of the inning on a Valdez double.

TMB got on the board in the top of the fifth inning after Carson Lanoue scored home on a wild pitch. Lanoue initially got on base with a walk, and made his way to third following a pair of base hits.

But, RTR scored another two runs in the sixth inning and didn’t allow the Panthers to embark on a comeback to seal the game.
