STRATFORD – The Marshfield baseball team used a four-run seventh inning to slip past Stratford 6-4 in a nonconference game Wednesday at the Tiger Stadium Baseball Field.

Parker Weik hit a two-run homer, and Logan Homolka drove in a run with a single and scored on an error to provide Marshfield with the runs it needed in its final at-bat.

Simon Slade had an RBI single in the third inning and Tim Kraus knocked in a run with a single in the fourth to put Marshfield up 2-0.

Stratford responded with a three-run fifth. Kale Weisenberger had a two-out two-run double and later scored on an error.

Stratford tacked on a run in the sixth when Braeden Schueller drove in pinch runner Dane Poppy to make it 4-2 before Marshfield rallied to win.

Will Fetting earned the win for Marshfield as he was able to get out of a jam in the bottom of the seventh by forcing a ground out with two runners on.

Both teams finish its regular-season schedule Thursday.
