After cruising to an 11-1 win in the opening contest of a Packerland Conference doubleheader, the Kewaunee Storm kept the momentum going, sailing to an 18-2 win over Gibraltar/Washington Island on the stern of the twinbill, as heard on 104.1 WRLU.  

 

Acting as the road team in Game 2, Kewaunee set the pace early with a six-run first inning. Dane Harrell and Mason Kovacs each knocked in a run, and Blake Temme had a two-RBI double in the frame. The Storm added three runs in the top of the second, highlighted by a Connor Kilgore RBI triple.

 

Despite some traffic on the bases in the third, Kewaunee was held scoreless. Waylon Delain retired the first eight batters he faced to start the game but ran into trouble in the third as the Vikings rallied for five straight two-out hits. RBI singles from Aaron Brey and Owen Dannhausen cut the Storm lead to 9-2.

 

Kewaunee responded with six runs in the fourth, paced by an RBI hit from Brett Paulsen and a two-RBI single by Noah Hudson. Paulsen drove in another run in the top of the fifth on a groundout, while Calvin Kolmorgen added an RBI single in the inning to extend the advantage to 18-2. Hudson then worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the fifth to close out the game.

 

Kewaunee will be back in action Saturday when it travels to Peshtigo for a doubleheader. Gibraltar/Washington Island will return home for a twinbill against Oconto.
