The Caledonia baseball team picked up a win and dropped a game during
another rain-shortened week. The Warriors defeated visiting
Plainview-Elgin-Millville 8-2 on April 14 and then lost to
Wabasha-Kellogg 15-7 on April 17.
Cal 8 PEM 2
The Warriors road the arm of junior Ryan Goetzinger, who pitched a
complete game. The big right hander gave up one earned run on four
hits, walked four, hit one batter and struck out five.
The home-standing Warriors scored once in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead when Goetzinger rapped out a home run.
The Warriors made it 3-0 in the bottom of the third when Goetzinger
singled, moved to second when Bob Augedahl singled and scored on an RBI
single by Alex Klug. Augedahl and Klug moved to second and third on a
fielder’s choice and Augedahl scored on a PEM error.

PEM made it 3-1 in the top of the fourth on walk, a Warrior error and a fieler’s choice.
Caledonia came right back with two more runs in the bottom of the
fourth. Troy Frank singled, stole second, moved to third on a single by
Pat Bolduan, and both Frank and Bolduan were plated when Augedahl
banged out a double, making the score 5-1.
The Warriors scored three more in the bottom of the fifth when Matt
Mitchell reached first on an error and scored on an RBI double by
Bolduan. Goetzinger was hit by a pitch and both Bolduan and Goetzinger
scored when the PEM second baseman couldn’t handle a shot hit by
Augedahl.
PEM scored one run in the top of the seventh on a fielder’s choice, a Caledonia error and a base hit.
Goetzinger led the offensive charge going 2 for 3 with a home run and
scoring three times. Augedahl was 2 for 4 with two RBIs, and one run
scored. Klug was 2 for 4 with an RBI, Bolduan was 2 for 3 with two runs
scored, Frank was 1 for 4 with one run scored, and Kody Moore had an
RBI.
W-K 15 Cal 7
The Warriors built a 6-3 lead through five innings, but the visiting
Eagles scored 10 runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh for the
15-7 win.
After two scoreless innings, the Warriors got on the board first when Klug poked one over the fence for a home run.
W-K tied the game at 1-1 when they picked up a run on two walks and two fielder’s choices.
The Warriors made it 2-1 in the fourth when Trent Meyer tripled and scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by Frank.
W-K came back with two runs in the fifth on a walk and a home run to take a 3-2 lead.
But the Warriors took the lead back (6-3) in the bottom of the fifth

choice, moved to second when Augedahl walked, and both runners moved up
when Klug walked. Moore plated Goetzinger with a single, Augedahl
scored on a W-K error, Klug scored on a base hit by Moore, and Meyer
singled to score Moore.
