NEW ULM — New Ulm plated four runs in the bottom of the sixth and went on to a 10-3 win over Worthington Thursday night in a Big South Conference baseball game at Johnson Park.

Owen Castleman got the win for New Ulm in relief of starter Dirk Haynes. Haynes went the first 3 1/3 innings and allowed three runs — all unearned — and fanned four.

Ethan Anderson absorbed the loss for the Trojans.

Zach Hubbard and Haynes each had two hits for the Eagles.

“We scored four runs in the second — we bunted really well in that inning,” New Ulm head coach Jeff Ferrell said. “We ran the bases really well and we gave ourselves a chance to put runners in scoring position.”

Tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the second, the Eagles used small ball to score four runs.

Castleman led off the inning with a single to center before both Ryan Rathmann and Haynes reached on consecutive bunt singles to load the bases.

A Hunter Larson walk forced in Castleman. Rathmann came home on a fielder’s choice before an error added another run for a 4-1 lead.

A wild pitch plated another run for a 5-1 cushion.

“They had a hard time fielding the bunt,” Ferrell said. “So why not keep doing it.”

But in the top of the third, Worthington used three New Ulm errors — including two errant pickoff attempts at second — to score two runs and cut the New Ulm lead to 5-3.

“We need to work on those pickoff throws,” Ferrell “We gave them [two] runs in that inning.”

The Eagles added a run in the bottom of the fifth on a Hubbard RBI single and then pushed four runs across in the bottom of the sixth on a wild pitch, a Castleman RBI single and an error that added two more runs.

“We need to get better and we did find a way to win,” Ferrell said.
