A successful year for Gibraltar athletics hopes to continue this afternoon when the Vikings baseball team takes on Niagara in the WIAA Sectional Semifinal. Many of the players on the team have already been a part of postseason runs this season including a quarterfinal appearance in the 8-man football tournament and a trip to the sectional semifinals in basketball. The Vikings have won their last two games by a margin of 21-3 after accepting a forfeit from Gresham in the playoff’s first round. It is very similar to last year’s regional championship team that also found its bats late in the season. Coach Jay Kita says the offense is coming around at the right time.

Tim Kowols will have the call beginning at 1:00 p.m. with the first pitch at 1:30 p.m. from Crivitz High School on 105.1 The Viking. The winner of the contest between the Vikings and the Badgers will face either Athens or Greenwood for a chance to play in the state tournament at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute. You’ll be able to find coverage throughout the day on DoorKewauneeHighSchoolSports.com and its Facebook page.
