Leopold's Thiele makes grand debut

Leopold junior Dustin Thiele made his season debut Monday and quickly made up for lost time.

Thiele hit a pair of grand slams in a 15-run third inning in Leopold's 31-4, five-inning victory over Richland in the Wildcats' home opener. The at-bats were the first of the season for Thiele, who entered the game in center field as a substitution.

Thiele had started the past two seasons, but had decided not to play this season. He recently had a change of heart, and rejoined the team Monday after participating in the mandatory 14 practices.

His first home run went over the fence in right-center field, while the second cleared the fence in left field.

Cody Van de Ven, John Bohnsack, Wade Wiseman, Clayton Stoverink and winning pitcher Ryan Davis each added a double for Leopold (4-4).

Thiele finished 2-for-2 with eight RBIs, while Stoverink had three hits and four RBIs, Wiseman had two hits and three RBIs, and Davis had two hits and two RBIs.
