GROTON -- Riley Rothschadl tossed a four-hit shutout and Tabor remained perfect at the Class B Legion state baseball tournament, blanking Madison 13-0 in five innings on Sunday. Rothschadl struck out five batters and walked one batter on 64 pitches.

Offensively, Rothschadl received plenty of run support. Tabor scored at least one run all four innings, including 12 runs in the final three innings.

Kaleb Kubal and Preston Nedved posted two hits apiece, while Kubal drove in three runs. Rothschadl, Nolan Carda, Nolan Dvorak, Trent Herrboldt, Kaden Kozak, Carter Uecker and Dawson Bietz each had a hit.

Carda knocked in three runs, while Dvorak drove in two runs. Rothschadl, Herrboldt, Nedved, Kozak and Bietz each drove in runs.

Up next, Tabor plays Vermillion at 6:30 p.m. Monday in a matchup of the tournament’s two undefeated teams.
