The Kewaunee baseball team will now focus on going 6-0 over the next three weeks after completing a perfect regular season on Thursday with a 3-1 win over Manitowoc.
The Storm struck right away at Manitowoc's Municipal Field, scoring twice in the first inning courtesy of an error and a sacrifice fly from Connor Kilgore. The Ships cut the lead in half in the second inning and the game stayed that way until the seventh inning when Diesel Bosdeck's RBI single gave the Storm some breathing room. The Ships would put the winning run at the plate with two outs before Jackson Walecka finished the job to earn the save.
The Storm outhit the Ships 9-3 with Waylon Delain going 3-4 while Brett Paulsen and Bosdeck each had two hits. Paulsen earned the win, allowing one run (1 ER) on two hits while striking out four across three innings.
The Storm will face a familar foe in their tournament opener on Tuesday when Peshtigo comes barking in Kewaunee. The Bulldogs were swept in a doubleheader by the Storm on May 9th, dropping game one 12-0 before just missing a split with a 5-4 defeat. They enter the matchup on a four-game winning streak.
