Door County, Shoreland meet for All-Star Game

For the third year in a row, the best of the Door County League and Shoreland League will meet under the lights of Joannes Park in Green Bay for their All-Star Game.

 

The two leagues have split their last two matchups at the historic Green Bay ballpark. Last year, the Shoreland League threatened late but could never push the tying or winning runs across as the Door County League escaped with a 5-4 All-victory. After a scoreless first inning, Door County struck first when Jack Peterson (Kolberg) drove in Trevor Reinhardt (Kolberg) and Cody Giesseman (Egg Harbor) to make 2-0. Shoreland would cut the lead in half in the third inning when Cal Ihlenfeldt (Kewaunee) singled in Noah Lindsley (Casco). Peterson would strike again in the fourth inning with an RBI single that saw Riley Spetz (Egg Harbor) come around to score. Stew Larsen (Sister Bay) would come through in the fifth with a single that saw Troy Jorgenson (Washington Island) and Spencer Krause (Sister Bay) come around to score to make 5-1. Shoreland would start chipping away at the advantage from there. Trevor Cornell's RBI single brought home a pair in the sixth and Chris Kopic (Branch) singled in another to make it 5-4. Door County's pitchers would come through in the clutch, stranding at least one Shoreland player in scoring position in the final four innings. Door County last great chance came in the eighth inning, but Shoreland doubled up their guests as they threw out Tom Sawyer trying to steal a run to prevent the lead from getting widened. The game-clinching play came in the bottom of the ninth, with the Shoreland League threatening with men on second and third. A slow bouncer to Krause sealed the game late to preserve the victory.

 

The first pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
