NEW ULM — The New Ulm Brewers’ Tate Becker and the Fairmont Martins’ Jack Hested engaged in a pitchers’ duel Friday night at Johnson Park, with the Brewers doing just enough at the plate in the eighth to earn the win.

Cole Ranweiler’s RBI single in the bottom of the eighth lifted New Ulm to a 1-0 win over Fairmont in a non-league amateur baseball game.

The game was originally to be a seven-inning game, but both team’s starting pitchers made it go an extra inning in the end.

Becker pitched eight no-hit innings in the win, walking just one while striking out 15.

Hested completed seven innings and allowed four hits and three walks for one unearned run while striking out four.

Due to the extra inning coming into play, both teams started with a runner on second. Noel Davila was placed on second to begin the bottom of the eighth before JT Hoffmann was intentionally walked. Ranweiler then singled to left to end the game.

Hoffmann went 1 for 2 with two walks for the Brewers, while Ranweiler finished 1 for 3 with his big game-ending RBI. Colten Schaefer also was 1 for 2 for New Ulm, while Ethan Thompson was 1 for 3.

New Ulm is at Stark on Sunday for a 5 p.m. Tomahawk East League game.
