The Algoma Wolves boys baseball team needed nine runs after the fifth inning to escape its matchup against Sturgeon Bay 16-7 and 15-5 on Thursday.

GAME ONE

The Wolves scored the first six runs of the game only to find themselves tied up at seven apiece after five innings. They would go on to retake the lead and then some in the following inning when the Wolves would score on consecutive errors before Carson Lischka singled home a run. The Wolves would end the inning with another run thanks to another Clippers miscue. In the seventh inning, Parker Lischka, Jordan Fenendael, and Carson Lischka would drive in runs before an error brought home the final tally for the Wolves. The Lischkas combined for seven hits in their nine at-bats, driving home four runs in the process thanks in part to a homer by Carson Lischka. Vandevest, Fenendael, and Carson Leist had multi-hit games.  For the Clippers, Brody Kallath, Curt Meyer, Bryce Plzak, and Gavin Fernandez all had multi-hit games. Meyer did the most damage, registering one of the Clippers' two extra-base hits while driving in three runs. Danny Lodl drove in two runs as he went 1-2 on the day.

GAME TWO

The Wolves did not waste any time in this game as they scored six runs in the first inning and five more in the third inning to put the contest on ice in the fifth inning. Jack Cole, Braeden Leist, and Kaden Vardon all registered RBI hits for the Wolves in what proved to be a fatal inning for the Clippers. The Wolves' Carson Lischka would take on two more with an RBI double in the second inning. The game would get out of hand in the third inning with Leist clearing the bases with a double while Vardon and Aiden Jorns would add to their RBI totals. The Clippers would finally get on the scoreboard in the fourth inning when Emmett Braschnewitz would score on an error while Garrett Ulburg's RBI single and Cole Frangipane's two-RBI double would take larger bites out of the deficit. Meyer would hit an RBI single in the fifth, but a single run in the frame was not enough to prevent the mercy rule from going into effect.
