Nashville’s fast start didn’t translate into success Monday.

The Hornets scored three first-inning runs, then fell apart with two outs in the seventh as Teutopolis grabbed a 4-3 victory in the Class 2A Sauget Super-Sectional at GCS Ballpark.

Two errors fueled the winning rally for the Wooden Shoes, who took the lead on a bases-loaded wild pitch. Nashville threatened in the seventh but stranded the tying run at third.

“We’ve got 11 seniors, and we started seven today,” 14th-year Hornets coach Chad Malawy said, battling tears. “I love these guys. I love them with all my heart, like they’re my sons.
Nashville finished 30-7. The game was delayed by rain for 39 minutes in the third inning.
