The Washington Island Islanders need a win to keep pace for the last spot in the Door County League playoffs but face a tough test Sunday at home against the Kolberg Braves.
The Islanders held off the Indians 10-8 in Egg Harbor last Sunday afternoon thanks to Bennett Isaacson, who struck out the final two batters with the bases loaded in the ninth to preserve the win for Washington Island. Luke Gieger had five hits and Foss finished with three RBIs to pace the Islanders.
Kolberg scored nine runs in the final three innings to beat Institute 12-5 for their second win of the weekend. Down 3-2 late against the Cubs, a Dart single turned into three runs thanks to an error. Thanks to another error by the Cubs defense, Dart would score later in the inning. The Braves would put the game away in the ninth inning with five runs in the frame, capitalized by extra-base hits by Devin Schinktgen and Jack Peterson.
