Storms that rolled through the area on Tuesday prevented the Spartans from participating in their scheduled track meet. 

 

The Southern Door track teams posted the top scores in Monday's Door County Classic hosted at Sevastopol. The Eagles boys won 11 events, and the girls captured the top spot in five events, respectively, in their wins.

The Sevastopol track team had hosting duties for this year's Door County Classic Track Meet, boasting one event champion along the way. Cassie Rankin posted a new personal record of 29 feet 5 inches in the shot put to win the event. The 4x400m relay team of Danica Werkheiser, Kylee Duessler, Caitlyn Hasenjager, and Caitlyn Fellner was the only other event win for the Pioneers for the boys and the girls. However, they did post a total of 11 top-3 performances to boost their point totals in the meet.

Gamblers force decisive game five

The Green Bay Gamblers will have at least one more game in their season after beating Muskegon Lumberjacks 2-1 in game four of the Clark Cup Playoffs Wednesday night.

 

The game was tied 1-1 after the first period thanks to the Lumberjacks answering an early Ben Poitras tally in the frame. It looked like the game might go to overtime before Jayson Shaugabay buried a pass from Blake Bechen for a power-play goal with just over 30 seconds remaining in the game. Chicago Blackhawks prospect Adam Gajan sparkled in the net, stopping 31 of the 32 shots he faced.

 

Game five will take place on Friday in Muskegon at 7:10 p.m.


Wisconsin Takes Down Chiefs in Extra Innings

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers almost let one get away to waste another terrific performance by starting pitcher Mark Manfredi on Wednesday afternoon at Dozer Park.  The Peoria Chiefs tied the game 2-2 with an unearned run in the bottom of the eighth inning after Wisconsin had led since the first inning.  Clutch relief work from Craig Yoho and a two-out RBI single by Jadher Areinamo in the tenth delivered Wisconsin a 3-2 victory.

 

The Timber Rattlers (11-6) took the lead with a two-out rally in the top of the first.  Gregory Barrios drew a walk and went to second on a wild pitch.  Luke Adams followed with a bloop single to right to chase Barrios across the plate for a 1-0 lead.

 

Adams added to the Wisconsin advantage in the third inning with a two-out, RBI double off the wall in right to score Luis Lara from second base.

 

Peoria (7-10) got to Manfredi in the bottom of the fifth inning.  The Chiefs had runners on the corners with one out.  Won-Bin Cho sent a weak grounder to first for an out to score the run from third.  Manfredi ended the inning with his eighth strikeout to strand the tying run in scoring position.

Manfredi allowed one run, walked two, hit one, and allowed four hits in five innings.  In his last two appearances, Manfredi has sixteen strikeouts over nine innings.

Tate Kuehner took over for Manfredi in the sixth and maintained the lead until the eighth.

Wisconsin’s offense had chances to add to their lead.  In the sixth, they had runners at first and second with one out.  In the seventh, Eduarqui Fernández had a lead-off double.  In the eighth, the Rattlers loaded the bases with two outs.  They did not score, and it would cost them.

 

Peoria’s Osvaldo Tovalin blooped a single to left with one out.  He moved to second on a weak ground ball that was the second out of the inning.  Dakota Harris sent a grounder to Adams at third for what looked like the final out.  However, the throw was wild and got past first baseman Ben Metzinger to allow Tovalin to score the tying run.

Kuehner got the final out of the eighth to keep the game tied.  The Rattlers went down in order in the ninth.  Yoho struck out the side in order in the bottom of the ninth and both teams went to extra innings for the first time this season.

The Rattlers nearly wasted their opportunity in the tenth.  Luis Lara started the inning at second base and moved to third on a grounder to the right side of the infield by Barrios.  Adams was next and hit a hard grounder near the third base bag.  Peoria third baseman Anyelo Encarnacion made the play and almost tagged out Lara as the Rattlers base runner scrambled back to safety.  Encarnacion still managed to get Adams at first for the second out.

That brought Areinamo to the plate.  He dropped a single to right on a 2-1 pitch to score Lara with the go-ahead run.  Areinamo went 3-for-5 in the game with three singles in his final three plate appearances.

Yoho went back out for the tenth inning with the tying run placed on second base for Peoria to start the inning.  Yoho got the first out on a popup and the second out on a grounder to Areinamo at second that allowed the tying run to take third base.  Yoho took all the drama out of the moment by striking out Leonardo Bernal on three straight pitches, including a called third strike to end the game and give the Rattlers the victory.

 

Game three of the series is Thursday night at Dozer Park.  Will Rudy (0-1, 6.23) has been announced as the starting pitcher for Wisconsin.  Cooper Hjerpe (0-0, 4.70) is set to start for Peoria.  Game time is 6:35pm.

Four college signings by Clipper athletes Wednesday

The Sturgeon Bay High School celebrated the college signings of four Clipper athletes on Wednesday morning.  Dozens of students, coaches, and parents attended the signings by Alumni Hall in the school.  Track star Chase Hasenjager will be going to St. Norbert College in De Pere to run Track and Field for the Green Knights.  Mason Sacotte will play football for the Pointers of UW-Stevens Point.  Brody Kollath will play football for the UW-Oshkosh Titans next fall.  Eli Schuster will kick for the Lakeland College Muskies during the football campaign.  Track and Field Coach Troy Hasenjager says coaching his son and seeing him compete at the next level is very special.

Green Bay set to name alum new women's basketball coach

A familiar face will reportedly be roaming the sidelines for the Green Bay women's basketball team in the upcoming season.

 

According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Kayla Karius will be named the new head coach of the Phoenix later this week. Karius has spent the past two years as the head coach at South Dakota and went 23-13 this season. Karius's maiden name is Tetschlag, and her time with the Phoenix was spectacular. Individually, Karius was a first-team all-conference selection twice, the league’s co-player of the year, and made the all-defensive team her senior season. The team won four conference championships, made three NCAA appearances, and went to the program's only Sweet 16.

Wisconsin Shuts Out Cedar Rapids to Claim Series Victory

It was the pitchers turn to shine for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday.  The Wisconsin offense combined for 27 runs on 27 hits over their last two wins over the Cedar Rapids Kernels.  In the series finale at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium, Edwin Jimenez and four relievers combined on a three-hit shutout in Wisconsin’s 2-0 win.

 

Dylan O’Rae started the Wisconsin first inning by drawing a walk. He scored two pitches later when Jadher Areinamo doubled to the corner in right for a 1-0 lead.

O’Rae, the Rattlers lead-off hitter, has reached base to start the first inning in five straight games.  He has scored in the first inning in four of those games.  The only time O’Rae didn’t score in the first inning during the streak was on Saturday when he was thrown out at the plate on a stolen base attempt.

Matt Wood drove in Areinamo with a sacrifice fly later in the first inning for a 2-0 advantage for Wisconsin (10-5).

That was it for the Rattlers offense.  After the first inning Wisconsin had two singles and didn’t have runner reach second base.  Five Timber Rattlers pitchers made sure that didn’t matter.

Jimenez allowed two hits and struck out four over five scoreless innings to earn his third win in three starts this season.  His defense helped with some big plays.

The Kernels (6-8) had runners at first and second with two outs in the third inning.  Ricardo Olivar sent a sinking line drive to center and Luis Lara made a sliding catch for the final out.

In the fifth, a single and a wild pitch put a Kernel on second with no outs.  Jimenez got the first out on a weak tapper in front of the plate that kept the runner at second.  Then, Keoni Cavaco sent a hard grounder to short.  Areinamo made a diving stop, held the runner at second, and fired to first in time for the second out.  Jimenez ended the inning with a strikeout to keep the lead intact.

Chase Costello was the first Wisconsin reliever, and he tossed a perfect sixth with two strikeouts.

Stiven Cruz was next man up for the bullpen.  He got the first out on a big defensive play on a tricky grounder by Dylan O’Rae where Cruz had to race over to cover first base and take the throw.  The next two batters reached on a single and a walk.  Cruz escaped the jam on a 6-3 double play.

Aaron Rund and Craig Yoho closed out the game in style for Wisconsin’s second shutout of the year.  Rund pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning on another sparkling defensive play by Areinamo and two strikeouts.  Yoho followed suit by pitching a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his third save of the season.

Wisconsin has outscored their opponents 21-8 in the first inning this season.
 

The Timber Rattlers won the final three games of the series to win the six-game series with four wins against the Kernels.  Wisconsin has won all three series they have played this season.

 

The Timber Rattlers are off on Monday.  They return to action on Tuesday to start a series with the Peoria Chiefs at Dozer Park in Peoria, Illinois.  Wisconsin has Patricio Aquino (1-0, 2.70) as their scheduled starting pitcher.  The Chiefs have named Brycen Mautz (0-2, 9.82) as their starting pitcher.  Game time is 6:05pm CDT.

Spartans wrestling goes to Division 1

Whether you call it an accomplishment or a punishment, there will be a new team state champion at Division 2 for wrestling after Luxemburg-Casco lost its appeal earlier this week.

 

According to WisSports.net, Luxemburg-Casco appealed their anticipated elevation to Division 1 after winning their second straight team state championship in their third consecutive appearance. Because of that success, they joined Fennimore, Prairie du Chien, and Coleman in moves to different divisions for the 2024-2025. Kaukauna has had similar success to those programs, but they are already at Division 1 and cannot move. While Fennimore accepted their fate, Coleman Luxemburg-Casco and Prairie du Chien tried stopping their moves through the appeal process but were ultimately denied. In fact, the WIAA denied 11 of the 12 appeals, only accepting the Albany/Monticello girls basketball team's request to stay at Division 5. Head Coach Chas Treml was asked about the likely move shortly after they won their team state championship, saying that they would be prepared for the challenge.

 

 

Gamblers edges Lumberjacks in playoff opener

The first appearance in the second round of the Clark Cup in over a decade went well as they beat the Muskegon Lumberjacks 4-3.

 

The two teams scored in every period, with the Gamblers' second first-period goal proving to be the difference. Jayson Shaugabay scored two goals, while Charlie Russell and Blake Bechen each registered a goal and an assist. Ryan Humphrey recorded two assists. 

 

Gavin Moffatt stopped 26 of the 29 shots.

 

The Gamblers and the Lumberjacks meet again on Sunday at 2:10 p.m.
