MILWAUKEE - Josh Lemke (Brillion,
Wis./Manitowoc Lutheran) allowed just one run and threw his fifth
complete game of the season to lead the Wisconsin Lutheran College
baseball team to a 4-1 victory over the Dominican University Stars
on Wednesday in a rescheduled Northern Athletics Conference game at
Neumann Family Field.
Lemke, a senior right-hander, pitched all nine innings on the
bump for the Warriors. He scattered seven hits and allowed just one
run, while fanning four and walking a pair.
Wisconsin Lutheran took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third on
a Justin Barkhurst (Crete, Ill./Illinois Lutheran) RBI single that
plated senior Cody Schmidt (Union City, Okla./Union City). WLC
finished with four hits in the frame, but left the bases loaded
when the inning ended.
The Warriors held their slim lead until the fifth when the Stars
tied the game at 1-1 on a bases-loaded walk. Lemke was able to get
himself out of the jam and Dominican left the bags full.
WLC broke the tie in the sixth after scoring three runs on four
hits. Junior Ryan Pollesch (Markesan, Wis./Markesan), Schmidt and
Barkhurst each recorded RBIs in the inning. The Warriors kept the
Stars off the scoreboard for the final three frames, holding the
visitors to just two hits the rest of the way.
Sophomore Ethan Geis (Fond du Lac, Wis./Winnebago Lutheran) went
3-for-4 for WLC to lead all hitters on the afternoon. Schmidt,
Barkhurst and Josh Ferrell (Cocoa, Fla./Temple Christian) each
added two hits.
Wisconsin Lutheran (7-21, 4-10 NAC) completes its four-game
homestand on Saturday by hosting Rockford College in a NAC
doubleheader. First pitch is slated for noon at Neumann Family
Field.
