(Audubon, IA) — Audubon Baseball has gotten hot — last night the Wheelers won the 4th in a row in a 9-5 win over Riverside.

In the first inning, Brody Schultes reached on an error, stole 2nd, moved to third on a grounder and scored on a wild pitch.

Gabe Jensen walked with one out and his runner Jorgen Nowatzke would score on a RBI single from Hermansen.
Audubon would score without any help in the 4th, Brody Schultes got a single, stole single and Wessel drove him in with a RBI single. Wessel then stole 2nd — Audubon had 10 stolen bases in the game without being caught — and Wessel would score on the third error of the game by Riverside. The Wheelers added another run in the 5th on a RBI single by Aiden Kjergaard.
