The Door County Baseball League is jockeying for their position in August's playoffs with Sister Bay and Maplewood taking centerstage on Sunday.
The Bays topped Institute last week in a 7-4 decision on the road. Sig Hansen would begin to settle in and slow down the Sister Bay offense until the fifth inning, when the Cubs only trailed 2-1 and felt like they were within striking distance of a major upset. A walk and an error would have two runners on, and a Tom Sawyer single would load the bases up with one out. Stew Larsen would hit a ball on the ground, and legged out an RBI fielder's choice by half a step, avoiding the double play, and giving his Bays a 3-1 lead. After the Bays added two more, Sig Hansen's day would finish in the 6th, allowing five runs, but only four of them earned.
A 7-0 lead almost proved to be not enough as the Mets beat Egg Harbor on the road 7-4 on Sunday. The Mets scored at least one run in each of the first four innings, including three in the fourth inning. In that frame, the Mets took advantage of three Indians errors while Jaden Diller delivered a two-run single. The Mets scored one more run in the top of the ninth before the Indians almost climbed all the way back. For the Mets, Diller went 2-4 with two RBI while Kody Kissinger, Kordell Draves, and Will Jandrin also had RBI. Tory Jandrin earned the win on the mound with five shutout innings of three hit ball while striking out a pair.
Gary Barta will have the call from Sister Bay beginning at 1:15 p.m. on 105.1 The GOAT followed by the first pitch at 1:30 p.m. Sunday's other matchups include West Jacksonport visiting Kolberg and Washington Island traveling to Baileys Harbor.
