Two late runs by Gibraltar/Washington Island helped them get past Algoma on the baseball diamond Tuesday afternoon 4-2.
A wild pitch opened the scoring in the second inning for the Vikings as Dannhausen was able to scamper home. The Wolves would respond in the top of the third with two runs. They pieced the rally together behind a single and a pair of walks before Charlie Prokash singled home two runs. The Vikings tied the game up in their half of the inning with Dannhausen driving home Braden Kita with a single to make it 2-2. It would stay that way until the sixth inning when Liam Lindenberg delivered a two-out single, and Cam Munao was able to run home on a Wolves miscue. The Wolves got the tying run to the plate in the seventh inning, but Kita induced a pop-out to secure the save and the win for the Vikings. Aaron Brey sparkled on the mound, allowing two runs (2 ER) on five hits while striking out six. He was nearly matched by Prokash's outing, who allowed four runs (1 ER) on five hits while striking out six. Prokash and Dannhausen were the only players with multi-hit teams for their respective teams.
Coach Jay Kita was complimentary of both teams after the game, saying the matchup was well played despite the cold weather.
