The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings and the Clintonville Truckers combined for nearly 30 hits on Saturday, but the visitors came away with the 12-9 victory on Washington Island.
The Truckers opened the game with two runs in the first inning, but the Vikings answered with two runs in the second, third, fourth, and fifth innings. The problem for the Vikings was the fourth inning when the Truckers batted around and scored nine runs to put them on their heels. The two teams would trade runs in the sixth, but the Vikings were still short on runs to allow the Truckers to ferry back with the win. Ten Vikings registered hits, including three from Aaron Brey and two from Brady Kita. Jaxin Lindgren, Brey, and Bennett Isaacson-Krueger drove in two runs apiece in the loss. Andy Lederer led the Truckers offensively, going 2-4 with a double and a home run while driving in five.
