6/23/06 -Brewers downed 16-6 
The American Legion Brewers (8-6) had another frustrating night tonight losing to the first place Braves by a score of 16-6. The team was forced to dig deep into it's pitching rotation due to the 11 inning affair against the White Sox last night. Brock Bodoh (0 innings-four hits, eight runs (seven earned) started and had some trouble getting any outs before he was relieved by Dan Brugger who allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits in two innings of work. AJ Emerich then pitched the third inning, allowing one run on two hits before Derek Hall finished-up, allowing two un-earned runs (after an error and two walks) in the fourth and thus ending the game because of the 10-run rule. Offensively, Dylan Hinckley and Alex Loveland were both 2-3 with three RBI and each player had a double. Next up:The team finishes out the regular season on Monday at home against the Tigers on the WBLL West Diamond at 5:45PM.
 
 
6/22/06 - Brewers/Sox Barn Burner suspended after 11 innings
The American Legion Brewers and Paradise Mobil Whitesox played to a 6-6 tie after WBLL umpire Bob Morrison suspended the game after 11 innings due to the local rule that doesn't allow and inning to start after 10:30PM. With the Brewers cruising along with a 5-1 lead in the top of the fifth, the Sox mounted a big inning of their own, scoring five times off starter Dylan Hinckley to take a 6-5 lead which they maintained as the game went into the bottom of the sixth. Down to their last out, Brewers shortstop Alex Nannetti drew a walk to get the tying run on base. Derek Hall then drilled a 2-2 pitch to left-center field, which brought Nannetti all the way around to score the tying run while Hall ended up on third with a triple. Hall then was left stranded and the game then headed into extra-innings. Nannetti came on in relief of Hinckley and did a great job of keeping the Tigers at bay. Then in the bottom of the tenth the Brewers loaded up the bases with no outs for Grant Waala who layed down a nice bunt but the Tigers First Baseman made a great play to cut down Nick Wolf at the plate and bring up the next hitter, Eric Haeuser, still with the bases loaded. Haeuser also got his bunt down but the Tigers were there again to throw out AJ Emerich at home and the catcher then doubled up Haeuser at first to end the inning and send the game into the 11th. Neither team could score in the inning and it has yet to be decided when the game will resume play. Next up: The Brewers play the Braves tonight at 5:45PM on the WBLL West diamond. 
 
6/21/06 -Tigers Maul Brewers 13-0

Nick Wolf releived and didnt fare much better as he gave up four earned runs on three hits and three walks in an inning and a third. The Crew also was lackluster at the plate as they could only muster two hits, one each by Dylan Hinckley and AJ Emerich.

6/3/06 - Brewers Scalped by Braves 14-4
The American Legion Brewers took one on the chin last night by a lopsided score of 14-4 against 7-up Braves. The Brewers who were playing without the services of Blake Wiskirchen, who is out indefinately due to a broken collarbone sustained in a car accident, and Jack Baumann, had a hard time getting started after being off for eight consecutive days because of a rain-out. Starting pitcher Dylan Hinckley did not have his usual stuff and the defense committed eight costly errors to allow the Braves to take a two game lead as we near the mid-point of the regular season. The Braves scored eight runs (four earned) in two innings off Hinckley who also struck out two and allowed six hits. Nick Wolf had a strong outing in middle relief as he didnt allow any runs while striking out one and allowing only one hit in two innings of work. Derek Hall then struggled in the last two innings of the game as he allowed six runs (four earned) on six hits while striking out two and hitting one batsman. Offensively, the team really seemed to miss Wiskirchen as they only came up with five hits in the entire game. Hall, Alex Loveland, Hinckley (2RBI), Grant Waala and Dan Brugger each had one hit apiece in the losing effort. Next up: the team looks to get back to form on Monday as they face the Braves again at 7:30PM on the North Diamond. 
 
5/25/06 - Brewers tame Tigers 4-3
The American Legion Brewers continue to remain one game behind the Braves as they came back tonight from a 3-2 deficit in the last inning to defeat the M&I Bank Tigers 4-3 in dramatic fashion. The Brewers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when Derek Hall led-off with a walk and was sacrificed to second by AJ Emerich. Hall then advanced to third on Dan Brugger's groundout to third and proceeded to score on a wild pitch. In the next inning the Crew scored again after Alex Loveland started the inning with a double to left-center and scored on another double, this time by Dylan Hinckley. The Tigers then scored three times over the next couple of innings to take a 3-2 lead heading into the fifth which laid the groundwork for the nail-biting finish. Still trailing 3-2 in the top of the sixth, Hall came up again and singled sharply to right field. Grant Waala followed up with a blooping Double down the right field line, putting runners on second and third for Brock Bodoh. Bodoh then grounded out to second which plated Hall and moved Waala over to third. Waala eventually scored on a passed ball giving the visitors a 4-3 lead. Eric Haeuser also doubled (his first hit of the season) in the inning. In the bottom of the sixth, the Tigers gave the Brewers another scare by getting a runner to second base before shortstop Alex Nannetti made two nice plays in a row to end the game and move the blue and gold to a 6-1 record. Leading offensive players for the Brewers were Dylan Hinckley (3-3, Double, RBI), Hall (1-1, two walks, SB), Waala (1-1, Double) and Haeuser (1-2, Double). Hinckley started and went the distance on the mound allowing four hits and three earned runs while striking out eleven and walking only one.

The American Legion Brewers, behind a two-hit shutout from Alex Loveland, beat the Paradise Mobil White Sox for the second time in less than a week 2-0 on the North Diamond of the West Bend Little League Complex. Loveland never really had any trouble in going the distance as he struck out seven, walked one and hit one batsmen. His strong outing also ruined a fine one-hit effort by Sox pitcher Aaron Johnson. The Brew Crew (5-1) maintains second place in the National League, still one game behind the first place Braves (6-0) who had an extra innings 6-5 victory over the Angels in tonights late match-up. The Brewers got the only run they needed in the bottom of the first when new lead-off hitter Alex Nannetti started off with a walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Loveland then grounded out to the pitcher, moving Nannetti to third. The Brewers shortstop then scored on Blake Wiskirchen's ground-out to the first baseman. Later, in the bottom of the fifth, the American Legion team got an insurance run when rightfielder Jack Baumann hit a one-out fly ball that was misplayed by the Sox left fielder. He advanced to second when Eric Haeuser walked and moved over to third on a wild pitch. Nannetti then grounded out to third and Baumann alertly scored on the play to finish out the scoring for the evening. Brock Bodoh had the team's only hit (his first in the majors) and a stolen base. Next up: the Crew plays the M&I Bank Tigers on Thursday at 5:45PM on the Little League Complex West diamond.

The Brew Crew (3-1) now maintains second place (also 2nd best in the Majors) in the National League, 1 1/2 games behind the first place Braves (5-0). Against the Sox, Alex Loveland was the starting pitcher and he threw a fine ballgame, striking out three, walking none and giving up only one run on two hits over five innings. Blake Wiskirchen pitched the final frame, allowing only a hit and no runs. The American Legion team broke the game open in the fourth with Wiskirchen and Dylan Hinckley leading the inning off with back-to-back doubles to score one followed by a Nick Wolf walk. Derek Hall singled home Hinckley and after AJ Emerich and Dan Brugger each hit into a fielders choice, Hall scored from third on a wild pitch. Loveland then singled home Emerich to put the Brewers up 6-0 after three full innings and well on their way to victory. Leading hitters for the Brewers were Hall, who was 2-3 with two RBI, Blake Wiskirchen 2-4 (double, three runs scored), Dylan Hinckley 2-4 (two doubles, RBI) and Loveland  2-4 (RBI). Grant Waala was 1-1 in his only plate appearance. Later, against the Braves, Hinckley threw an excellent game only to fall prey to the opposition in the last inning. With the Brewers leading 1-0 in the top of the sixth the Braves led off with three consecutive hits and each player eventually scored from a combination of passed balls and wild pitches. In the bottom of sixth, the Brewers did manage two get the tying run aboard after Hall singled and A.J. Emerich drew a one out walk off reliever Joe Stubbe.

After an Alex Nannetti sacrifice bunt, Wiskirchen drilled an 0-1 pitch deep over Cubs leftfielder Corey Parris to get two more runs on the board. Wiskirchen then scored when Hinckley reached on an error to end the teams scoring for the game and put the Crew up 7-3. In the last inning, the Cubs managed to give the Brewers a real scare by scoring three runs and loading up the bases before Loveland managed to work his way out of a jam and send the home team to victory.

5/6/06 - Brewers win opener 8-3
The American Legion Brewers opened the 2006 season in fine fashion, downing the Wisconsin Sports Angels 8-3 at the West Bend Baseball Complex earlier today.
