The Kewaunee Storm were able to use a stellar pitching performance to get past Southern Door, winning 2-0, as heard on 104.1 WRLU on Tuesday afternoon.  

Brett Paulsen took the hill for the Storm and was masterful, pitching 5.2 innings of perfect baseball before Braylon Berg bunted a single down the third baseline, Southern Door’s only baserunner of the game.  Paulsen struck out 12 over 6 total innings of work and earned the win.  Waylon Delain closed out the game with 2 strikeouts in the 7th.  

Offensively, Kewaunee had plenty of traffic on the basepaths, working several walks off Drew Daoust, but couldn’t plate a run until the 3rd.  Ethan Pathan worked a walk, followed by back to back singles from Connor Kilgore and Brett Paulsen loaded the bases. Brady Pribek drove in a run on a fielder’s choice to put Kewaunee in front.  The Storm tacked on another in the 6th when they loaded the bases after a pair of walks sandwiched around a Diesel Bosdeck double. Alec Carlson got hit by a pitch to bring in the run, putting Kewaunee up 2-0.  

After 4 games in 5 days, the Storm get some well deserved rest prior to a battle against Gibraltar on Friday for control of the Packerland Conference. 

The Kewaunee softball team could not dig all the way out of a hole against Chilton as they lost Monday night 12-9 in nine innings.

The Tigers responded with four runs in the top of the fourth inning as they scored five of the next six runs. The Storm would come back to force extra innings with four runs in the sixth and matching the Tigers with one in the eighth. The Tigers took the lead for good in the ninth when they stole home and laced a two-run triple. Breanna Riha, despite going 3-4 with a double, took the loss from the circle, allowing five runs (5 ER) on six hits. Vivian Bootz, Mariah Schlies, and Kambreia Last all drove in two runs in the loss.

The Kewaunee Storm will be looking to remain undefeated in Packerland Conference play, and for their second win in as many days,  when they host the Southern Door Eagles on 104.1 WRLU.  

Kewaunee won Monday, taking down Brillion 3-2, to move to a 7-3 record overall,  after a heartbreaking loss to Two Rivers on Saturday at Fox Cities Stadium. In Monday's contest, the Storm scored all three runs in the third inning thanks to a two-run double from Brett Paulsen that was preceded by Jackson Walecka stealing home on a wild pitch. A win would help the Storm keep pace with Gibraltar/Washington Island atop the Packerland Conference standings, who have been off since Friday’s 8-1 over Peshtigo, but are also in action Tuesday afternoon when they play Sturgeon Bay. 

To do so, Kewaunee will have to get past Southern Door, which is fresh off dropping to 1-4 in the Packerland Conference standings after losing to Sturgeon Bay on Friday afternoon by a score of 6-2. In that game, a pair of back-to-back doubles by Nick Beck and Collin Everard drove in runs, staking the Eagles to a 2-1 lead, but the Clippers were able to piece together a rally late to take a win on the road.  

Eric Fischer has the call on 104.1 WRLU. The pregame show starts at 4:45 p.m., and the first pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
