NEW ULM — The New Ulm Brewers scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to erase a 5-4 Courtland lead and went on to beat the Cubs 6-5 Monday afternoon in a Tomahawk East League amateur baseball game.

Mitch Bockenstedt worked out of a ninth-inning Cubs rally and got the win for New Ulm, now 1-1 in TEL play.

He went the final four innings and allowed two runs on five hits while striking out four.

Sam Keckeisen started for the Brewers and went five innings and allowed three runs — all unearned — and four hits.

Carter Lang, one of three pitchers used in the game by Courtland, took the loss.

Keckeisen and Ethan Thompson had doubles for New Ulm.

Maddox Mortensen, Cade Bushard and Lang each had two hits for the Cubs, who dropped to 2-1 in league play.

The Cubs, who host Springfield at 5 p.m. on Sunday, plated two unearned runs in the top of the first.

Jackson Bode doubled and Mortensen reached on an infield single.

Jaden Drill walked to load the bases with no outs. Bode scored on an infield error before a Teddy Giefer ground out scored Mortensen.

The Brewers, who are at Springfield on June 5, cut the lead to 2-1 in the second when Keckeisen doubled and eventually came around to score on a Zach More squeeze bunt.

The Cubs added another unearned run in the third before New Um tallied a run in the bottom of the inning on an Ayden Jensen sacrifice fly.

The Brewers then tied the game in the fourth when Lucas Suess singled and later scored on a Jace Schaefer infield single.

An Ethan Thompson RBI double in the sixth lifted the Brewers to their first lead of the game at 4-3.

But the Cubs rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh for a 5-4 lead on a Lang two-run double.

In the bottom of the eighth, More’s one-out single sparked a two-run rally.

A fielder’s choice later tied the game before a Colton Schaefer sacrifice fly had the Brewers leading 6-5.

Courtland threatened in the top of the ninth when Jaden Dril stroked a one-out double.

Nolan Drill was intentionally walked. Bockenstedt recorded the second out on a strikeout before he retired Lang for the final out of the game.
