Southern Door baseball blanked by Kiel in Regional Title on U-102.1

The Southern Door offense went completely cold after Tuesday night's offensive eruption over Howards Grove, as the Eagles fell 3-0 to Kiel in the Regional Title game on U-102.1. 

 

The game was a pitchers duel through the first two and a half innings of play, as the Eagles and Raiders would only have two hits combined. The bottom of the third however, Kiel put their first run on the board when Tate Hartlaub would score on a single from Jackson Neese to give Kiel a 1-0 lead. 

 

Southern Door would go on a stretch where they would have nine batters retired in order, and Kiel would take advantage as in the bottom of the fourth they plated two runners in Grant Manz and Aaron Stephany giving Kiel the eventual final score at 3-0 in the fourth inning. 

 

Southern Door would fight back in the fifth inning after a single from Alec Guilette would give the Eagles their first legitament threat since the second inning, but after Jack Peterson singled into right field, Jackson Neese showed off his strong throwing arm throwing Guilette out trying to take an extra base. 

 

In one last effort for Southern Door in the seventh inning, Jared Hawkey would draw a walk, but Matthew Malvitz and Derek Schinktgen would strikeout swinging and looking respectively and Kiel became the regional champions. 

 

Kiel will face the eighth seeded New Holstein Huskies next Tuesday as they once again pulled an upset beating Mishicot 3-1. 

Eagles baseball routs Tigers; face Kiel for regional title on U-102.1

The Southern Door Eagles baseball team struck early and often in their win over Howards Grove on Tuesday afternoon, as they defeated the Tigers 15-5 on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com. 

 

After Jaden Diller ended the top half of the inning on the mound by picking off a runner at 1st base, the Southern Door Eagles offense responded by giving him some run support. Jack Peterson would lead off with a double, Tyler Neinas would reach on a fielder's choice, and Jaden Diller would hit a sacrifice fly to the center fielder to make the game 1-0. Christian Counard would then walk, and a two RBI double from Will Jandrin would make the game 3-0 heading into the second. 

 

Howards Grove would be shut down by Diller again, and this time the Eagles offense would answer again, scoring 11 runs in the second inning. 11 runs on 11 hits for Southern Door would be the recipe for success as Christian Counard and Jack Peterson would hit home runs in the inning for the home team, giving the Eagles a 14-0 lead after two long innings. 

 

The game would be at a standstill until the bottom of the fourth inning, when Drew Daoust roped a double into the right center field gap, and a Tyler Neinas single would bring home the sophomore, making the game 15-0. 

 

Southern Door pulled Diller after just two innings, and his pitch count under 30 pitches, meaning he is eligible to throw in the regional title game on Wednesday. Will Jandrin would relieve the starter, as he gave up five runs in the top of the fifth inning, after Drew Damrow hit a three run home run to make the game 15-5. 

 

Southern Door will move on to the regional title game in Kiel on Wednesday after the Raiders defeated Brillion 6-3. New Radio Sports Network will have the call from Kiel beginning at 4:15 p.m. for the pregame show and 4:30 p.m. for the first pitch with Gary Barta and Reece Robillard.

Eagles baseball begins postseason Tuesday on U-102.1

The Southern Door Eagles baseball team will begin their postseason action on Tuesday afternoon when they play host to the Howards Grove Tigers in WIAA Regional Semifinal baseball. 

 

Southern Door will look to make a run through the playoffs that they were not able to do as the top seed last season, falling to the Brillion Lions 3-1 in the regional semifinals. The Eagles are now back in the postseason as a three seed, and will hope a strong regular season carries over to the playoffs. The Eagles played last Monday in their most recent game against Sturgeon Bay, winning both games of the doubleheader 3-2 and 12-2. With their only losses coming against Kewaunee twice and St. Mary’s Catholic, Southern Door hopes to push through division three and make their way to Fox Cities Stadium. 

 

Waiting for the Eagles will be Howards Grove, the sixth seeded team coming off an 8-3 victory over Valders. The Tigers are 11-9 overall and 8-4 in the Big East Conference, good enough for a fifth place finish. The one team that the Eagles and Tigers have played in common was St Mary’s Catholic, with Southern Door losing 3-2 and Howards Grove losing 5-4. The Tigers pitching is the strong suit of their team, and will look to give Southern Door fits on their home diamond. 

 

Gary Barta and Jacob Nate will be on the call from Brussels on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 4:15 with the pregame show and 4:30 first pitch between the Eagles and Tigers.

Southern Door softball season ends in New Holstein on U-102.1

The Southern Door Eagles softball team was not able to string together enough hits to generate much offense as the Eagles fell to New Holstein 4-1 on U-102.1 Thursday afternoon. 

 

After a quiet top half of the first inning for Southern Door, New Holstein got things going right away. Jordyn Meyer would single into center field and then reach second on an error in the outfield. A sac bunt would move her to third, and then after catching the second out of the inning, Chloe Lustila would overthrow third base trying to catch Meyer being over-agressive, and the Huskies led 1-0. 

 

Meyer would also record the second run for New Holstein in the third inning as she would once again single, then steal second base the very next pitch. After advancing to third, a passed ball would bring home Meyer to give the Huskies a 2-0 lead. 

 

Ashlyn Delfosse would try to spark the Eagles back into the game with a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning, but would be answered back immediately by opposing pitcher Natalie Ziebell hitting a home run in the bottom half of the inning.  

 

Southern Door would only be able to muster up four total hits throughout the entire game, as Ziebell for the Huskies would go all seven innings for the win and the regional title. 

Eagles softball looks to clinch regional title on U-102.1

After winning a back and forth game with the Kewaunee Storm, the Southern Door Eagles will move their sights to a Regional Final matchup with the New Holstein Huskies on Thursday. 

 

The Eagles bounced back from a five run deficit in the first inning by scoring a total of 13 runs throughout the night and took the season series against Kewaunee 2-1. The home run was a big part of the win for Southern Door as the Eagles hit a total of five throughout the night, including a three run home run by Callie Miller that gave them the lead for good. Southern Door will now hit the road to face the Huskies, as they look to win a regional title for the first time since the 2019 season, where they rode their momentum all the way to the state tournament. 

 

New Holstein enters the matchup with Southern Door at 24-2 after the Huskies finished their matchup with Valders in six innings, winning 10-0. New Holstein defeated Luxemburg-Casco 8-6 late in the regular season as a marquee win to propel them into the playoffs. As the top seed, the Huskies will look to win the regional title for back to back season after they took a trip to the state tournament last year. 

 

Gary Barta will be on the call from New Holstein on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 4:45 with the pregame show and first pitch at 5:00 between the Eagles and the Huskies.

Southern Door softball rallies to defeat Kewaunee on U-102.1

The Southern Door Eagles softball team fought back from a five run deficit in the first inning to steal a victory over Kewaunee 13-8 and advance to the Regional Finals on U-102.1. 

 

Kewaunee began the game with a home run from Breanna Riha making the game an early 1-0 lead for the Storm. A few batters would reach, and then Lexi Hanrahan would belt out a grand slam for a 5-0 lead and a shock to Southern Door. 

 

Chloe Lustila would answer right back however as she drilled a two run home run into the outfield trees to cut the lead down to 5-2. 

 

After having a runner thrown out at the plate, Kewaunee capitalized on a Southern Door error and brought a run home to score in the second, making the game 6-2. 

 

Sophie Counard hit a solo home run in the third inning, as the Eagles were just warming up. Southern Door got to Jenna Rohr and the Storm for six runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Payton Gilbertson would get an RBI the easy way by walking in a run, and then Chloe Lustila would bring in a run with a sac fly to make it 6-5 Kewaunee. After an Ashlyn Delfosse single would bring home Tori Marchant, Callie Miller hit a homer to deep left-center field to give Southern Door the lead for good. 

 

Tori Marchant and Ashlyn Delfosse would hit two more home runs for the Eagles, who had five on the night, as the Eagles would win the game in a 13-8 final. 

 

Southern Door will move on to the Regional Final to take on the top seeded New Holstein Huskies on Thursday night in a game that will be aired on U-102.1.

Eagles softball opens WIAA regional with Kewaunee on U-102.1

The Southern Door Eagles softball team will be put to the test when they face off with the Kewaunee Storm in the regional semifinals on Tuesday afternoon on U-102.1. 

 

Southern Door enters as the lower seed of the 4v5 matchup, but the two teams actually split the season series back on Wednesday May 10th. The Storm took the first game by way of a 6-0 shutout, but the Eagles bounced back with their bats beating Kewaunee game two 8-6. It truly will be a test to see which Southern Door team shows up for the round two game, the game one Eagles, or the game two Eagles. Southern Door finished tied for second in the Packerland Conference with Sevastopol and Algoma as the three teams tied at 11-5. 

 

Kewaunee is entering the matchup with Southern Door on a bad note, losing their last six games, with their last two results coming as a 11-0 loss to Wrightstown and a 17-3 loss to the Algoma Wolves. The Storm will look to improve their run prevention against a team in Southern Door that can pile runs on in a hurry. Jenna Rohr has had a strong season for the Kewaunee Storm, and will look for at least one more gem of a game when she faces the Eagles. 

 

Gary Barta and Jacob Nate will have the call from Brussels on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 4:15 p.m. for the pregame show and 4:30 p.m. for the first pitch between the Eagles and Storm in the WIAA Regional Semifinals. 

Eagles sweep rival Clippers in regular season finale on U-102.1

The Southern Door Eagles baseball team made things interesting in the first game, but took care of business in the second as the Eagles won both games of the doubleheader Monday night on U-102.1. 

 

Game one saw the Eagles fall behind in the middle innings as the first run was not scored until the fourth inning. Emmett Braschnewitz was driven in by Jack Henry's RBI bunt single to give Sturgeon Bay the 1-0 lead. 

 

The Clippers would add on again in the top of the fifth inning as Bryce Plzak would score after reaching on an error on the shortstop Christian Counard. A single by Brody Kollath would do the trick and the underdog Clippers were leading the Eagles 2-0. 

 

Southern Door would answer quickly by posting two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, and then Jaden Diller would play hero in the bottom of the seventh with one out as he lined a single into right-center to bring home Jack Peterson and the winning run. 

 

Game two was much different for the Eagles, who jumped out to a 5-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Southern Door would amass the lead up to the largest of the game in the third inning when the Eagles were ahead 11-0. 

 

Sturgeon Bay would get two RBIs from catcher Caleb Plzak, and the Eagles would put one more run in the column for the final score of 12-2. 

 

Southern Door will have a first round bye and take on the winner of the 6v11 matchup of Howards Grove/Valders. Sturgeon Bay will face Shawano in the first round on Thursday. 

Southern Door track joins three other local teams for regionals

The Division 2 schools will head to St. Norbert College for their regional meet, which begins its first events at 3 p.m. Kewaunee, Luxemburg-Casco, Southern Door, and Sturgeon Bay will be joined by Denmark, Freedom, Notre Dame De La Baie Academy, Two Rivers, and Wrightstown. The top finishers will head to Unison Credit Union Stadium at Little Chute High School for the sectional meet.

Southern Door gets back on track with NEW Lutheran sweep

Southern Door took two games from NEW Lutheran on Friday, with quite different results in those games. Game 1 saw the Eagles put the game away with an 8-run 8-hit 1st inning. The monster rally included 2 singles from Tyler Neinas, a double from Jared Hawkey, a 2-RBI triple from Christian Counard, and a bases-clearing triple from Derek Schinktgen. Neinas led the SD 17-hit attack with 4-4, while Jack Peterson went 3-4 including a 4th-inning solo HR. Counard, Hawkey, and Will Jandrin added 2 hits apiece. The game was stopped after 5 innings by the 10-run rule with the score 17-0. Will Jandrin pitched a no-hitter for the Eagles, striking out 9 and walking four.

Game 2 turned into a dogfight, with SD being forced to come from behind 3 different times to claim an 8-7 win, in a contest stopped by darkness after 6 innings. NEW Lutheran jumped to a 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning and added 1 in the 2nd to go up 4-0. SD responded with 2 runs in both the 2nd and 3rd innings to tie the score at 4-4. The Blazers regained the lead with a run in the top of the 4th, but a Tyler Neinas triple in the bottom of the frame helped to tie the score a 2nd time at 5-5. The Eagles took their 1st lead of the game in the bottom of the 5th when Matthew Malvitz led off with a triple and scored on a throwing error. The 6th and final inning saw Will Jandrin come in to save the win for Nick Beck. However, with 2 outs and nobody on base, a single, walk, and an error produced 2 unearned runs, and the Eagles came up for their final at-bat trailing 7-6. A lead-off Tyler Neinas single started the winning rally. After an infield ground out, Christian Counard unloaded a triple to the right-center field gap (his 3rd triple of the day) to tie the score at 7-7, and Will Jandrin immediately followed with a walk-off single up the middle to cap a great day for both Jandrin and the Eagles. 

 

The 2 wins brings SD's record to (16-3) on the season, and (12-2) in the Packerland Conference. The Eagles will complete their regular season when they host Sturgeon Bay in a DH at Brussels on Monday afternoon.

Southern Door looks to bounce back against Blazers

The Southern Door Eagles will look to bounce back from their first Packerland loss in nearly two seasons as they take on the Blazers of NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy Friday. 

 

Southern Door was swept by the Kewaunee Storm by scores of 4-3 and 10-6 on their way to potentially losing their first conference championship in a few seasons. The Eagles are 14-3 overall and 10-2 in the Packerland, with two doubleheaders left to play in the season against the Blazers and the rival Clippers. 

 

NEW Lutheran has not been able to find much of a groove this season, as they have a 5-12 record overall and are 3-11 in the Packerland, sitting second-to-last in the standings. Tuesday was the last time the Blazers played, when they fell 11-1 to the Roncalli Jets. They did recently sweep Sevastopol in conference play however, so the Blazers will look to keep the conference momentum rolling and steal a game from Southern Door. 

 

First pitch from Green Bay is slated for 4:30 p.m.

Eagles baseball swept away by Storm

Kewaunee won two extremely competitive games with Southern Door on Monday to take total control in the race for the Packerland Conference baseball championship.

Game 1 saw the storm jump to 3-0 2nd inning lead behind a solo HR from Mitchell Thompson and a 2-run HR from Schaller. Those turned out to be the only 2 Kewaunee hits for the entire game. The Eagles evened the score at 3-3 in the top of the 5th inning behind a brace of singles from Will Jandrin, Taylor Schaefer, Jack Peterson, and Tyler Neinas. The game moved into extra innings with Kewaunee scoring a run in the bottom of the 8th inning for a 4-3 victory without a hit or hitting the ball out of the infield. Thomas Stangel took the win in relief of Cal Ihlenfeldt, while Jaden Diller took the loss in relief of Tyler Neinas. Will Jandrin led Southern Door with 2 hits, including a single and a double.

Game 2 saw the Storm jump out to a 5-2 lead with a 4-run 2nd inning, with the rally including 3 walks and 3 singles. The Eagles clawed back with 1 run in the bottom of the 3rd inning, and then took the lead 6-5 in the bottom of the 4th. The inning featured a Tyler Neinas RBI double and was aided by 2 Kewaunee infield errors. However, a combination of Kewaunee hits and Southern Door infield errors produced a total of 5 runs for the Storm in the 5th & 6th innings, and when the game was called by darkness after the 6th inning, the Storm had emerged with a 10-6 win. 


The losses leave SD with a (14-3) season record, and a (10-2) record in the Packerland Conference. The Eagles next travel to Green Bay for a Friday DH with NEW Lutheran. 

Eagles softball visits Denmark in non-conference Tuesday

After finding out their seeding over the weekend, the Southern Door Eagles softball team picked up an extra non-conference game to attempt to stay fresh, facing off with Denmark Tuesday. 

 

The Eagles recently took care of business against NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy on Friday, winning both games of the doubleheader by scores of 13-1 and 15-0. Those two games completed Southern Door’s Packerland slate, as the Eagles went 11-5. Southern Door can finish in either second or third place in the Packerland by the end of the regular season. 

 

Denmark has had a strong season this year, sitting third in a highly competitive North Eastern Conference that features Luxemburg-Casco and Freedom. Ranked ninth in Division Two, Denmark received a three seed in the WIAA playoffs. The Vikings will look to bring back some momentum after splitting four games in three days, including wins over reigning state champions Freedom and a loss to 10-12 Waupaca. 

 

First pitch from Denmark is slated for 4:30 p.m. 

Eagles baseball extends winning streak to nine

Southern Door's baseball team won a non-conference DH at Winneconne on Saturday to run their winning streak to 9 games.

 

Game 1 saw a total of 3 hits in the entire game, 2 by SD and 1 by Winneconne. The Wolves scored 1 run in the bottom of the 1st and 3rd innings, and the Eagles plated 2 runs in the top of the 2nd inning, with no hits involved in these rallies. A
Jared Hawkey 4th inning single led to a 3-2 SD lead, and a Jaden DillerRBI double in the 5th inning produced a 5-2 Eagles lead and ended the scoring in a lackluster
1st game. The game featured a 1-hit 5 inning relief pitching performance by Mason Paye to earn his first varsity win. 


Things went from relative calmness to absolute craziness in game 2. Jack Peterson made his 1st high school pitching start, and produced a solid 5 inning performance, leaving with a 3-2 lead after 5 innings. Southern Door's relief pitchers could not find the strike zone in the top of the 6 inning, and 7 walks and a number of wild pitches later, Winneconne led 7-3. The charity drive continued in the top of the 7th inning when the Wolves added 4 runs on a 
hit batter, 3 walks, and 2 hits to make the score 11-3. However, things spun completely out of control for Winneconne in the bottom of the 7th inning when 8 hits and 4 walks resulted in an incredible 9-run uprising to produce an improbable 12-11 Southern Door victory. With 2 outs and the Eagles trailing 11-8, Jack Peterson's RBI single made the score 11-9. After a Tyler Neinas single (his 2nd hit of the inning) put the tying runs on base, Jaden Diller ripped a double into the left-center field gap (also his 2nd hit of the inning) to square the score 11-11. Diller's hit was followed by 3 consecutive walks, allowing SD to literally walk away with the victory. 


The twin wins brings the Eagles season record to (14-1), and (10-0) in the Packerland Conference. Southern Door now travels to Kewaunee on Monday for the long-awaited showdown for 1st place with the Storm, who hold a (12-0) conference record. The first pitch for game 1 is scheduled at 4pm.

Southern Door baseball trounces Manitowoc Lutheran, battles Winneconne Saturday

In non-conference baseball at Manitowoc on Friday afternoon, the Southern Door Eagles defeated the Manitowoc Lutheran Lancers 10-2.

 

A Jack Peterson lead-off HR gave SD an immediate 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st. The Lancers responded in the bottom of the 2nd with 2 runs on 2 hits, a walk, and an error. The Eagles regained the lead with 4 runs in the top of the 3rd, highlighted by a 2-out 2 RBI bases loaded single from Jared Hawkey. A 2-run HR 
by Jaden Diller in the top of the 4th finished off a 3-run rally boosting the SD lead to 8-2. The scoring was completed for the day when Tyler Neinas drove in 2 runs on a 7th-inning 2-out single.


Nick Beck earned the victory in his varsity pitching debut, with solid support from his JV teammate, catcher, Mason Paye. Beck allowed 4 hits and 2 runs (only 1 earned) in his 5+ innings of work. Will Jandrin pitched 2 hitless innings to close out the win. 


The Eagles go to (12-1) on the year, (10-0) in the Packerland Conference. They hit the road again Saturday for a non-conference DH at Winneconne, with the first game scheduled for an 11:00am start. 

Southern Door softball blazes trail to NEW Lutheran

The Southern Door softball team hopes the bats the showed up on Tuesday make their way to Green Bay on Friday when they play the NEW Lutheran Blazers.

 

The Southern Door Eagles rode big innings in both games of the doubleheader they played against the Oconto Blue Devils, winning the first game in 3 innings 16-1 and winning game two 19-9 on U-102.1. Game one was started by Ashlyn Delfosse, who threw all three innings of the game, and allowed just one hit in the three innings that were pitched. The Eagles offense was led by their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hitters in the lineup Chloe Lustila, Ashlyn Delfosse, and Callie Miller. The three players alone combined for nine of the sixteen runs scored, as every player in Southern Door’s starting lineup came around to score in game one. 

 

n the second game, it was all about the second inning for the Eagles, as they put 10 runs on the board in that inning alone, with two home runs coming from Colbi Jacquet and Payton Gilbertson. The 19 runs are the most of the season in a game for Southern Door, who was unable to end the game early at any point. Southern Door’s Ashlyn Delfosse started the game for the Eagles, allowing 4 runs. Chloe Lusitla pitched 5 1/3 innings for Southern Door, giving up five runs. 

The Blazers are winless in their last seven games, last winning against Lourdes Academy on April 27th. They failed to score more than two runs in six of those seven games.

 

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

Eagles baseball soar over Oconto with doubleheader sweep

In a baseball doubleheader at Brussels on Tuesday afternoon, Southern Door took
two games from Oconto.

 

Game 1 saw Oconto take a 1-0 lead in the top of
the 1st inning, but a Christian Counard 2-RBI single in the bottom of the 1st put Southern Door on top 2-1. The Eagles would add 3 more runs for a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the 2nd, highlighted by a Derek Schinktgen 2-run HR.  Oconto countered with 2 runs in the top of the 3rd to cut the margin to 5-3. The Eagles
would then take control of the game with a 5-run 5th inning, and then ended the game with 3 runs in the bottom of the 6th inning, making the final score 13-3.

 

The Eagles 14-hit attack was led by Alec Guilette and Tyler Neinas
with 3 hits each, with Neinas driving in 4 runs on his 2 doubles and a single.  Jack Peterson, Jaden Diller, and Counard provided support with 2 hits each. Tyler Neinas earned the win, allowing only 3 hits in his 6-inning complete game.

Neinas struck out 8 and walked 2.

A tightly contested game 2 saw Christian Counard score after his 2nd inning lead-off double to give Southern Door a 1-0 lead. A solo HR by Jack Peterson leading off the top of the 3rd inning provided the Eagles with a 2-0 lead. Oconto would cut the lead in half with a 4th inning run, but Southern Door immediately answered in the top of the 5th behind a Neinas RBI double and a Diller RBI single for a 4-1 lead. The Blue Devils took one last run at the Eagles when Conner Christensen led off the bottom of the 7th with a triple.

 

At that point, Jaden Diller relieved starter Christian Counard, and though the rally continued with a walk and an infield hit, Diller preserved the 4-3 win with a strikeout, leaving the tying run stranded at 3rd base.  The game two pitching win went to Christian Counard. In his 6+innings of work, Counard struck out 10, walked 1, and hit 1 batter. He only allowed 3 hits in earning the victory.

The two wins leave SD with an (11-1) season record, (10-0) in the
Packerland Conference.  The Eagles travel to Winneconne for a Saturday non-conference doubleheader starting at 11:00 am.

 

Monday will see the Eagles travel to Kewaunee for a showdown with the two remaining undefeated Packerland Conference
teams.

The Southern Door Eagles rode big innings in both games of the doubleheader they played against the Oconto Blue Devils, winning the first game in 3 innings 16-1 and winning game two 19-9 on U-102.1. 

 

Game one was started by Ashlyn Delfosse, who threw all three innings of the game, who allowed just one hit in the three innings that were pitched. The Eagles offense was lead by their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hitters in the lineup in Chloe Lustila, Ashlyn Delfosse, and Callie Miller. The three players alone combined for nine of the sixteen runs scored, as every player in Southern Door’s starting lineup came around to score in game one. 

 

Oconto’s Annika Schlueter was charged with all 16 runs against her. 

 

In the second game, it was all about the second inning for the Eagles, as they put 10 runs on the board in that inning alone, with two home runs coming from Colbi Jacquet and Payton Gilbertson. The 19 runs are the most of the season in a game for Southern Door, who were unable to end the game early at any point.

Southern Door baseball set to host Oconto

The Southern Door Eagles will once again be looking to keep their Packerland Conference record perfect when they welcome in Oconto on Tuesday night for a doubleheader. 

 

The Eagles have once again had a dominant regular season so far this year, entering the doubleheader at 9-1 overall and 8-0 in the Packerland Conference. Southern Door however will be very busy within the next few weeks, looking to get every game in they have on their jam-packed schedule for the rest of the regular season. 

 

Oconto is tied for third in the Packerland at 8-3 overall and 6-2 in conference play. The Blue Devils and Eagles have not gotten games in since April 29th, so both teams could have some rust to knock off within the first game. 

 

First pitch between Southern Door and Oconto is set for 3:45 p.m.
