The Sturgeon Bay Clippers baseball season came to a close Tuesday in tough fashion, dropping a 4-3 regional decision to Bonduel after holding the lead for most of the game.

Siggy Hansen put the Clippers in front 2-1 with a two-run single in the third, and Sturgeon Bay protected that lead all the way into the sixth. Hansen was dealing on the mound too, striking out five over five and a third innings.

Then the bottom of the sixth happened. Bonduel strung together enough to plate three runs and flip the game to 4-2, with none of the runs charged as earned against Ethan Kratcha who came on in relief. 

The Clippers battled back with a run in the seventh to make it 4-3 but couldn't complete the comeback.

Rylan Ruenger went 2-for-3 to lead Sturgeon Bay at the plate and Hansen drove in both of the team's first two runs in what was otherwise a gutty performance on both sides of the ball for the Clippers as the season came to a close Tuesday.
