NEW ULM — The New Ulm Brewers used an early pair of three-run innings and then rode arms of three pitchers as they downed Hanska 6-2 Friday night in a Tomahawk East League game at Johnson Park.

Mitch Bockenstedt got the win for the Brewers (3-1 in the TEL). He went seven innings and allowed two runs on five hits while striking out 10. Jace Schaefer and Chris Cariveau each pitched a scoreless inning.

Sam Knowles was saddled with the loss for the Lakers, now 2-3 in TEL action. He went five innings and allowed all six runs and fanned three.

Aaron Portner had two hits for Hanska.

Andrew Peters had a pair of triples for the Brewers and drove in three runs.

The Brewers, who host Springfield Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. at Johnson Park for “KNUJ Day,” plated three runs in the bottom of the first when Justin Hoffmann doubled. Knowles hit Cole Ranweiler before he walked Ayden Jensen.

Peters then followed with a three-run triple to centerfield.

In the second inning, Ethan Thompson was hit by a pitch and Josh Seidl reached on an infield error and Colton Schaefer reached on a bunt single.

A Hoffmann groundout scored Thompson and a wild pitch brought in Seidl for a 5-0 lead.

A Jensen RBI single made it 6-0.

That would be all the scoring for the Brewers as Knowles and Brady Mosenden shut down the Brewers the rest of the game. But the damage had been done as Bockenstedt had just two speedbumps in his seven-inning outing.

One came in the fourth inning when he allowed consecutive singles to Tanner Olson, Portner and Alex Stresemann for a run.

In the seventh, the Lakers, who play Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m in Fairfax, used a Portner double and a Tanner Wenninger single to pull Hanska to within 6-2.
