NEW RICHLAND &045; The mistakes for the Glenville-Emmons American Legion baseball team came early, and New Richland capitalized.

Visiting G-E committed six errors, leading to an 8-0 deficit after three innings, and New Richland coasted to a 9-1 victory on its own Legion Field Friday night.

&uot;We just weren’t very ready to play. We were not very sharp mentally or physically,&uot; said G-E coach Louie Toulouse. &uot;New Richland took advantage of all of our mistakes which gave them an early lead, and they just kept adding to the lead as the game went along.&uot;

It was 9-0 before G-E got on the scoreboard in the top of the sixth inning.

Wade Flattum was 2-for-3 for half of G-E’s hits. Nathan Cooper had a double and an RBI. Justin Flattum was 1-for-2.

Michael Greibrok started and pitched into the third inning for G-E, giving up seven runs on five hits, with one walk and two strikeouts. Three of the runs were earned. Richie Mathis and Justin Flattum pitched in relief.

The loss dropped G-E’s record to 4-9. The team hosts Hayfield tonight at 6 in Emmons.
