The Gibraltar softball team hopes to build some positive momentum heading towards its Thursday WIAA Tournament opener on Thursday when they host NEW Lutheran on Monday.

The Vikings have struggled to get off the diamond defensively this season, giving up 20 runs in five of their eight losses this season. They did have their best scoring output of the season on Friday when they scored two runs against Southern Door in the final inning of their 23-2 loss. They will play Crivitz on Thursday at 4:30 in their tournament opener. That game will be broadcast on 105.1 The GOAT.

The Blazers have lost seven straight, including a 10-0 loss to Southern Door in their last game.

First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
