Mother Nature will allow Kolberg and Maplewood to fit in a second crack at their rainout from last month on Saturday.

 

The game was moved to July 13th after torrential downpours earlier in that week produced poor field conditions. The old-timers game scheduled to take place before the matchup has since been canceled.

 

Maplewood scored the game's first six runs in a 10-5 win over Washington Island on the road last Sunday afternoon. The Mets scored four runs in the first inning thanks to an RBI single from Adam Gutschow, a two-run homer from Kordell Draves, and the first of six Islanders errors. After chasing pitcher Ryan Jorgenson from the game after just over an inning of work, Tory Jandrin made it 6-0 with a two-run single in the second inning. Jeremiah Jahnke earned the win for the Mets, allowing four runs (3 ER) on six hits while striking out seven.

 

Kolberg survived a late scare to hand Sister Bay its first loss of the season, 8-6, last Sunday. The Braves struck first with two runs in the fourth inning when Austin Rohe singled off Sam Forkert to bring home, Trevor Reinhardt and Jack Peterson. Kyle Routhieaux's bases-clearing triple and Rohe's second RBI single gave the Braves the lead back before Tyler Neinas made it a two-run lead. The Braves would add important insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth inning when Jack Peterson hit his second homer in as many weeks.

 

The two teams will face each other at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday before the Mets host Jacksonport and the Braves visit the Institute on Sunday.
