Evansville’s defending West Division co-champions are back in gear in the Southeast Section of Home Talent League baseball.

The Jays rebounded from an opening loss to down host Deerfield, 12-9, on Mother’s Day and even their record at 1-1.

Evansville made the most of seven hits and took advantage of Deerfield walks that fueled three big innings.

Brent Cashore singled home the first run and scored on Nick Manion’s hit to give Evansville a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The Jays went up 3-0 in the third on Jeremy Rasmussen’s walk, two stolen bases and a throwing error.

Evansville broke away from a 3-3 tie with nine runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. The Jays batted around in a three-run sixth and a four-run seventh, with hits by Rasmussen, Craig Paton, Nick Manion and Jon Frey, highlighted by Paton’s two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded as Evansville stretched its lead to 10-3.

Deerfield contributed six walks to those two innings and walked five more in the eighth, enabling Evansville to add two insurance runs.

In other Southeast action Sunday, Albion improved to 2-0 in the West Division by ripping Whitewater, 12-1; defending East Division champion Fort Atkinson also went to 2-0 by topping Orfordville, 8-2; Jefferson outscored Lodi, 10-7; Stoughton shut out Lake Mills, 4-0; and Utica edged Cambridge, 4-2.

n Albion 12, Whitewater 1—Ben Everson and Matt Buhrow shut down Whitewater on two hits, and Jesse Appel drove in five runs as the visiting Tigers dominated the Swingers (0-2).

Everson allowed no runs on two hits in six innings before Buhrow finished the job for Albion, which committed no errors and was powered by 16 hits.

The Tigers took the lead for good at 2-0 in a two-run third inning that featured consecutive two-out hits by Jim Eastman and Aaron Laskowski, who scored on Aaron Manogue’s double to right.

Albion extended its lead to 4-0 in a two-run seventh on hits by Corey Vickers, Laskowski, and Appel. The Tigers then put the game out of reach in a six-run eighth, during which Appel’s two-run single was combined with RBIs from Laskowski, Manogue, Jason Millar and Ethan Vaade.

Appel capped the scoring in the ninth with a two-run double, giving him a 3-for-6 day. Laskowski reached and scored four times and also drove in two, while Manogue had three RBIs.

n Fort Atkinson 8, Orfordville 2—Jacob Soriano’s two-run double in the second inning was the game’s only extra-base hit and put the Generals in control at 4-1 against visiting Orfordville (0-2).

n Stoughton 4, Lake Mills 0—Stoughton used Eric Engler’s 10-strikeout performance to keep pace with Albion and Utica at 2-0 atop the West Division.

n Jefferson 10, Lodi 7—The Blue Devils used a five-run ninth inning and 10-hit attack at Lodi to even their East Division record at 1-1.

Kyle Mack and Tyler Kurt each drove in two runs for Jefferson.

n Utica 4, Cambridge 2—Utica, which shared the West Division title with Evansville last season, kept its share of first place at 2-0 by stinging Cambridge with a four-run fourth inning that featured two-RBI hits by Doug Vike and Matt Ellingson.
