NEW ULM — New Ulm Cathedral scored five unearned runs in the second inning and then tacked on five more in the third inning as they downed Minnesota Valley Lutheran 11-1 Monday afternoon in a nonconference baseball game at Johnson Park.

The game was stopped after 4 1/2 innings because of the 10-run lead rule.

Caleb Forstner got the win for the Greyhounds, now 12-1 and ranked fourth in Class A by QRF.

Forstner went four innings and allowed one run on three hits and struck out three.

Henry Forst pitched the top of the fifth inning.

Kyan Kube took the loss for the Chargers (8-7). He went three innings and allowed all 11 runs on nine hits. Five of the runs allowed by Kube were unearned.

Elliot Schabert collected three hits and drove in five runs. Evan Blekestad added two hits.

New Ulm Cathedral head coach Alan Woitas said that he was pleased by the job done by Forstner on the mound.

“Caleb has been really good for us all year,” he said. “We know that he is going to go out there and pound the strike zone and challenge hitters. And we were able to capitalize on a few mistakes.”

The Chargers, who host GFW at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Johnson Park, and the Greyhounds, who entertain BOLD Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Mueller Park, were tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the second when two consecutive Chargers outfield errors and a three-run double off of the bat of Schabert made it a 6-1 game.

“I did not think that Kyan pitched all that bad,” Chargers head coach Jim Buboltz said. “At worse it should have been a 2-1 game after that inning. And it is too bad because I think that we are a better team than that.”

Cathedral made it an 11-1 game in the third inning.

Two runs came home on a Forst single with a Finstad RBI double, a Schabert run-scoring single and a Colin Anderson base hit and error adding the fifth run of the inning.

“He had a good day today, he’s a guy you want up there when the guys are on in scoring position,” Woitas said of Schabert. “He’s going to drive the ball and use the whole field and he puts some good swings on the baseball.”

Josh Vander Plas will take the mound for MVL on Tuesday, while Colin Anderson will pitch Tuesday for the Greyhounds.
