Gibraltar High School

Gibraltar hosts Southern Door for Island matchup

The Gibraltar and Southern Door baseball squads are scheduled to take the ferry for their Washington Island matchup Saturday afternoon.

 

Saturday's game will be a home game for several members of the Vikings, who are a cooperative team with Washington Island school.

 

A pair of four-run innings and a great pitching performance from Christian Counard were all the Southern Door Eagles needed to beat the Gibraltar Vikings 8-2 in Fish Creek last weekend. 

 

The Vikings were rained out on Friday, but they beat Hilbert/Stockbridge earlier in the week 10-0 in five innings. The Eagles beat Oconto on Thursday 11-9 to clinch the Packerland Conference and followed it up with a 12-2 win over NEW Lutheran Friday.

 

After the game, the two teams and their families will have a picnic on the island before heading back. In our preview of the two teams' last game, Gibraltar Jay Kita talked about the significance of the game on Washington Island.

 

First pitch is scheduled for noon.
