VIKE STRUGGLE AGAINST OREGON

It wasn’t what coach Jeremy Dunnihoo wanted to hear from his guys following Tuesday’s 16-0 five-inning loss to Badger South Conference rival Oregon. When he asked the Vikings why they thought the game was lost, the answer he heard was the second inning. “That tells me where their mindset is at and how they are dealing with adversity right now,” Dunnihoo said. “As soon as we get down, we are just quitting on ourselves.” University of Michigan recruit Dillon Nowicki started, but instead of a spark, Stoughton found itself in trouble early. The Panthers batted around three times and scored five runs in the second, third and fourth innings, chasing Nowicki after 2 1/2. “Yes, we need to win a game, but we need to start doing little things to actually earn a win because no one on our schedule is going to roll over and just hand us a win,” Dunnihoo said. Nowicki allowed eight earned runs on five hits and eight walks, striking out three. Edgewood 3, Stoughton 2 The Vikings fell 3-2 to Madison Edgewood on Thursday after the Crusaders scored twice in the sixth and once more in the seventh after errors. Stoughton attempted to come back in the bottom of the seventh with two outs. Bryan Wendt doubled, and Aaron Zimmerman reached on an error. Wendt later scored on a passed ball, but Mitch Fuller, who came in as a courtesy runner for Zimmerman, was picked off of first base. Zimmerman had the lone RBI for the Vikings, and Nick Waldorf was 2-for-2 with a double. Brock Wanninger also doubled. Nowicki took the loss. He allowed no earned runs on four hits and four walks in six innings, striking out eight. Wanninger pitched the seventh and allowed no earned runs on a walk, striking out one. Luke Follmann earned the win. He allowed an earned run on seven hits and a walk in 6 2/3 innings, striking out eight. Watertown 8, Stoughton 3 Stoughton dropped a nonconference game to Watertown on Friday, 8-3. Wanninger was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored, and Shore and Zimmerman also had RBIs. Andy Johnson doubled and scored, and Alec Tomczyk also scored a run. Wanninger took the loss. He allowed two earned runs on six hits and a walk in three innings, striking out two. Zimmerman pitched the last four innings and allowed an earned run on four hits and three walks, striking out one. Jack Walsh picked up the win. He allowed two earned runs on five hits in six innings, striking out nine.
