Behind Brett Paulsen's no-hitter and timely hitting, the Kewaunee Storm stayed undefeated by shutting out the Crivitz Wolverines 10-0 in five innings Wednesday afternoon.  The Storm will now play in a sectional semifinal next Tuesday in Crivitz against Brillion. 

 

After a scoreless first inning, the Storm scored two runs in the second and third innings to take a 4-0 lead.  Micah Vanness knocked in two runs with a double in the third inning to get Kewaunee going.   

 

Connor Kilgore had a big game going three-for-three with a triple while Vanness finished two-for-three.  

 

Brett Paulsen was the story again getting a no-hitter while striking out nine batters and allowing only three baserunners with walks. 

 

The Storm scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to claim their back-to-back regional championship.  Conner Kilgore ended the game with a bases-loaded walk for the final tally.

 

#1 Kewaunee (27-0) will now face the #2 Brillion Lions next Tuesday at 1 p.m. with a chance to play in the sectional final at 4 p.m. if they get by the Lions.  The sectional semi-final broadcast will begin at 12:45 p.m. on 104.1 WRLU and streamed on NewRadioSportsNetwork.com with Paul Schmitt calling the action.

 

 

 

 

 

The Kewaunee Storm kept rolling Tuesday, knocking off Peshtigo 6-1 to stay unbeaten on the season at 26-0.

Kewaunee wasted no time, putting up four runs in the first inning on a two-RBI single from Connor Kilgore and a two-RBI double from Blake Temme. 

 

That was all Jackson Walecka needed. The righty went five strong innings, striking out seven and allowing just one run. Waylon Delain shut the door with two scoreless frames in relief.

Delain and Diesel Bosdeck each had two hits, and the Storm swiped six bases on the day to keep the pressure on all game.

 

Next up, Kewaunee hosts Crivitz in the regional final on June 3rd. The Storm are the heavy favorites as the top seed and a perfect 26-0, but Crivitz comes in as the four-seed ready to compete. 

The Kewaunee Storm's girls soccer season came to an end Tuesday night, falling to Valders 2-1 in the opening round of the WIAA Regional.

The Storm showed fight, making it a one-goal game until the final whistle, but couldn't complete the comeback. It's a tough way to close out the season for a young Kewaunee program that showed growth throughout the year.

Kewaunee senior Evan MacCaux had a standout day at the WIAA Division 3 Boys Golf Sectional, shooting a 73 to earn individual gold medalist honors and punch his ticket to state as an individual qualifier.

 

MacCaux was the low round of the day and the only local golfer to advance to the State Tournament. Three Lakes/Phelps (335) and Mishicot (342) took the top two team spots to advance to state as well. 

 

Gibraltar finished with a 377 team scor led by Henry Wehrenberg with a 94, followed by Bairen Lhost (94) and Jameson Tepe (99). Sam Busalacchi rounded out the team with a 90. The Vikings would not advance as a team or individually. 

 

MacCaux is the lone local area golfer headed to state and he will compete at the WIAA Division 3 State Tournament June 8-9 at University Ridge in Madison.

The march back to Fox Cities Stadium begins with a Packerland Conference opponent when Kewaunee welcomes Peshtigo on Tuesday.

 

The Storm last played on Thursday when they beat Manitowoc 3-1 to clinch a perfect regular season. The Storm outhit the Ships 9-3 with Waylon Delain going 3-4 while Brett Paulsen and Diesel 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 familiar 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. They earned the matchup with a 5-2 win over Sevastopol last Thursday. Lincoln Nemec led the Bulldogs with three hits, including a double, while Bryce Heroux pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless relief to go along with his triple.

 

First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.

The Kewaunee girls soccer team will open their first WIAA Tournament in several years on Tuesday when they host Valders to take on the Vikings. 

 

Both teams are credited with just one win on the year entering the match. Brenda Cuevas-Tapia has scored both of the Storm's goals on the season, both of which came in a 4-2 loss to Peshtigo.

 

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m.
