Wausau Pilot & Review
WESTON – Nate Langbehn and Cuyler Soppe combined on a two-hit shutout as the D.C. Everest baseball team shut out Wausau West 1-0 in a Wisconsin Valley Conference game Tuesday at Simon Field.
Langbehn allowed just two hits and three walks while striking out 14 in 6 2/3 innings before exiting as he surpassed the 100-pitch plateau. Soppe came in and retired the only batter he faced to earn the save as Everest vaults into a tie for first place in the conference with Marshfield at 3-1.
Cayden Bangtson had an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning to score Soppe with the game’s only run for the Evergreens (4-4 overall).
Lucas Hager struck out seven and gave up just the one run and four hits in a complete-game effort for Wausau West (4-4, 3-2 Wisconsin Valley Conference).
The two teams will play again Thursday at Wausau West starting at 4:30 p.m.
