MARSHFIELD — It was not Marshfield’s cleanest game of the summer. The Blue Devils committed four errors, gave up six runs, and needed their offense to bail out a shaky evening in the field. But when a five-run fourth inning opened the game up and Bryce Schade locked things down in relief, the Marshfield Post 54 Blue Devils found a way to take a 9–6 win over Rangers Post 9 on Tuesday night.
Dayton Bugar earned the win on the mound despite giving up five runs in 3.2 innings, though only two of those were earned — the other three coming home on Marshfield errors. He struck out five and kept the Rangers from putting together a clean big inning before handing it to Schade. Schade was sharp in relief, going 3.1 innings with one earned run allowed, two walks, and two strikeouts to close it out.

Owen Griesbach supplied the biggest hit of the game, a triple in the fourth inning that keyed the five-run frame. He finished 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base. Mason Anderson went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run, and a stolen base — one of the more complete at-bat sequences in the lineup all night. Jakob Sadowska scored once, drove in a run, and stole two bases out of the leadoff spot.
The fourth inning was the difference. Marshfield sent eight batters to the plate, took advantage of two Ranger errors, and turned a one-run game into a 7–3 lead with a collection of hard contact, productive outs, and smart baserunning. Dawson Luther and Mac Konieczny each contributed sacrifice flies. Chase Robinson scored twice despite going hitless, drawing a hit by pitch and working the base paths. Kash Ostermann added an RBI single, and Kaleb Cracraft reached on a walk and scored in the fifth to push the cushion to six.

Rangers starter Evan Calverley took the loss, going five innings and allowing nine runs — six earned — on seven hits. He struck out one, walked two, threw a wild pitch, and hit a batter in a rough outing that was made worse by two Ranger errors behind him. Carter Karbowski was clean in two innings of relief, holding Marshfield without a hit and walking one. Jack Potter went 2-for-2 with two stolen bases and an RBI to lead Rangers offensively, and Josh Bush drove in a run as well.
