Gibraltar only needed one inning to make its case for a sectional final appearance as they beat Niagara 9-2 in Crivitz.

 

Thirteen batters came up to bat in the second inning thanks to a handful of walks and hit by pitches collected by the Viking hitters. Doubles by Griffin Reinhardt and Luke Steebs drove in two runs a piece while bases loaded walks and hit by pitches accounted for the other tallies in the nine run inning.   Niagara scored their two runs on an RBI single by Elliot Peterson in the bottom half of the inning.

 

Steebs grinded it out for the victory, striking out three and giving up two runs in the complete game win.

 

Gibraltar faces Athens in the sectional final in Crivitz with a chance to qualify for the state tournament in Grand Chute on the line.
