The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings beat the Coleman Cougars 8-1 on Friday, beating them for the first time since 2014.

The Vikings scored their first run in the opening inning and returned the next frame. They put the game away in the fourth inning, taking advantage of two errors to go along with their five singles to plate four runs in the frame. The Cougars mustered only run as an answer to the Vikings' big blow.

Brady Kita led the way with two RBI and three hits in four at-bats. He also stole four bases in the game. Bennett Issacson-Krueger, Aaron Brey, Jaxin Lindgren all had two hits while Liam Lindenberg and Cam Munao knocked in runs along with Issacson, and Brey. With a conference doubleheader against Southern Door on deck for Saturday, the Vikings used six pitchers in the win. Aaron Brey got the 'W,' but it was Liam Lindenberg that led the way with two innings of one-hit ball while striking out five. 

The doubleheader begins at 11 a.m. in Fish Creek.
