Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tekamah-Herman). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Benson Bunnies an 11-0 shutout on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Tigers considering their two-run performance the game before.
Cale Belfrage and Robert (Parke) Loftis made a splash no matter where they played. Throwing, Belfrage didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out ten over four innings pitched. Meanwhile, Loftis tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Those ten strikeouts gave Belfrage a new career-high. At the plate, Belfrage fired off two home runs, seven RBI, and two stolen bases while going 3-for-3, while Loftis went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and two runs. Belfrage has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Spencer Pagels, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Landon Miller was another key player, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Tekamah-Herman always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .615. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Tekamah-Herman's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-12. As for Benson, they are on a 38-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-16.

As for Benson, they will face off against Omaha Northwest at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
