Game recap:
Big-time hits, solid pitching and stellar infield play all contributed to Viroqua's 10-2 win over Wisconsin Dells, Friday night. 

Right off the bat, Viroqua picked up a pair of runs in the bottom of the first inning on a two-run home run by Dave Crandell to left field.


Through five innings, Viroqua held a 4-0 lead, which was helped in part with four double plays by Viroqua's infield. In the top of the sixth, Wisconsin Dells, with two outs, closed the gap to two, 4-2, but Mitch Stalsberg soon closed out the inning, coming in relief of starting pitcher Crandell and striking out the Dells' next at-bat for the third out.


In the bottom of the sixth, Viroqua shut the door on Wisconsin Dells' undefeated run in the 2013 State Legion Tournament with six runs, including a three-home run by Tyler Trautsch to right field and two unearned runs.


Crandell pitching almost six innings, picked up the win, striking out two and walking two.


Leading hitters for Viroqua were Trautsch 2-for-3, a three-run home run and three RBI; Crandell was 2-for-3, a two-run home run and two RBI, and Brandon Mickelson was 2-for-3 at the plate.


Viroqua plays Westby at 8 p.m. Saturday night.
