MARSHFIELD – The Marshfield Chaparrals amateur baseball team improved to 3-0 this season with a 6-3 win over the Everest Merchants on Wednesday night at Jack Hackman Field.

Marshfield struck first with a run in the bottom of the opening inning. Leadoff hitter Nathan Krommenakker walked, went to second on errant throw over to first, cruised to third on a groundout and scored on Donavon Brandl’s groundout to make to 1-0.

Will Lee and Nathan Krommenakker had RBI singles, Isaiah Baierl scored on a wild pitch, and Nick Anderson and Nathan Krommenakker both scored on an error to give Marshfield a 6-0 lead.
That score held until the seventh when Everest scored twice on an RBI double by Brady Sendelbach and an RBI single by Wade Farmer.
