Tomahawk, WI — The Tomahawk baseball team put one in the win column ahead of the playoffs on Monday (May 22), defeating visiting Tigerton, 15-5 in five innings on senior night. Sophomore Brody Rigney started on the mound for the Hatchets, and Tigerton was able to push across two runs with two hits and two Hatchet errors in the top of the first. Tomahawk would answer in a big way, however, as they doubled the Tigers' output with four in the bottom of the first. Addison Peissig, Drew Tollefson, Tyler Jablonski and Zack Friske all reached base and scored in the inning - Cooper Hetzel capped the inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. Tigerton would tie the game in the top of the second, plating two runs after the first two outs were recorded. The Hatchets would answer again with another four-spot to retake the lead, as Brayden Larson and Ethan Ihn reached base to start the inning - they would both score, as would Tollefson and Jablonski, aided by two Tiger errors, a walk and hit batsman. The Hatchets would tally six in the third to break the game open - Larson, Ihn, Tollefson, Jablonski, Rigney and Hetzel all reached and scored in the frame. Monty Framke, Friske and Peissig also reached base in the inning. After a solo home run by the Tigers in the fourth and a quiet bottom of the fourth by Tomahawk, the Hatchets ended the game by run rule in the 5th. Jablonski and Friske reached consecutively to open the inning and ended up on third and second, respectively, with no one out. Back-to-back strikeouts left the game to Landon Hoff, who entered in the top of the fifth in the outfield - he punched a ball through a drawn-in infield to end the game.
