The Sturgeon Bay Clippers baseball team avoided a catastrophe late to beat local rival Sevastopol on the road Friday evening 12-10.

The Clippers got out to a fast start, scoring the game's first eight runs in the opening three runs. Braylon LaRoche, Caleb Plzak, and Bryce Plzak all doubled in runs during the stretch. The Pioneers chipped away from there with a run in the third and three more in the fourth. Logan Schuh delivered the biggest blow in the rally with a two-run double in the fourth inning. The Clippers added on four important insurance runs because the Pioneers had one last big rally in them. The Pioneers had already cut the lead in half before Schuh narrowed the lead to two with a two-out home run. The Pioneers had the bases loaded again before Jack Haen was induced into a game-ending line out. 

Siggy Hansen, Rylan Ruenger,  and LaRoche all had two hits in the game, but accounted for just one of the RBI. That work was done by the top of the lineup where the Plzak brothers and Ethan Kratcha accounted for just two combined hits but seven RBI. The loss spoiled a banner night for Schuh, who went 3-4 with six RBI. Bo Tanck and Hatcher Reetz each had two hits in the loss for the Pioneers. Brce Plzak ( 3.1 IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER 2 SO) earned the win while Tanck (1 IP, 2H, 4R, 3ER 1 SO) took the loss.
