Being close to the state tournament has been a familiar experience for many Gibraltar sports in recent seasons, and the baseball team will look to add to that list of teams, beginning their 2023 season at home against NEW Lutheran. 

After winning the regional title last season over Reedsville after receiving a one seed, Gibraltar fell to Iola-Scandinavia 6-1 in the sectional semifinals. Head Coach Jay Kita is the only returning coach from last season in Door County, and is set to lead a Vikings team with potentially two returning All-Conference selections in Braden Kita and Rylan Caldecott. After going 9-13 overall last season, the success of past teams and even past sports will look to be built upon by the baseball team. 

NEW Lutheran found themselves in many close games last season, ultimately finishing their season at 6-13 overall and 1-10 in the Packerland conference. Elijah Meerstein, Jack Henschel and Sam Hillmann were strong players for the Blazers last season, and could potentially return to make the Blazers a sneaky team early in the season. 

First pitch from Gibraltar is set for 4:30 p.m.
