(KWMN)- The Cotter Ramblers (15-2) pushed the streak out to seven games, after defeating the Lewiston-Altura Cardinals 4-2.
Despite allowing seven hits and six walks, the Ramblers hold the Cardinals scoreless in five separate innings. The Cardinals left nine runners on the base-paths through seven innings at the plate, with four left stranded at third base.
Lewi Shira’s only hit of the game knocked in the first two runs for either squad, KJ Kreidermacher and Dane Guzzo. The eventual game-winning run was scored by leadoff-man Rawson Sullivan. Sullivan had reached first on a single, but then advanced to second on a fielder’s choice by Will Pterson. Two consecutive wild pitches saw Sullivan score the third run of the game for the Ramblers.
