Two teams coming off a heartbreaking losses meet under the lights Friday night when Institute welcomes Egg Harbor in Door County Baseball League action.
After trailing 7-0, the Indians scored four runs in the ninth inning and had the tying run at the plate before the game ended with a 7-4 loss to Maplewood. For the Indians, Cody Giesseman went 1-4 with two RBI while two other drove in runs. Drew Olsen took the loss, allowing six runs (1 ER) on five hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.1 innings.
The Cubs are coming off their own 7-4 loss to Sister Bay last Sunday. The Bays' Sam Forkert would allow three runs in the 6th inning off of an RBI single from Robby Pollman and a 2-RBI double from Quin Schram, who had a fantastic 3-for-5 day at the plate. Forkert would allow an uncharacteristic 14 hits on his afternoon, mostly pitching for contact in the latter half of his outing. The first 12 hits for the Cubs were all singles, and the Cubs did not have an extra-base hit until the 2-RBI double from Schram. With the score at a tightly contested 5-4, Cubs fans in attendance could smell an upset. Matt Hecht would come in relief and shut those dreams down, retiring 8 of the nine batters he faced.
First pitch is set for 7:30 p.m.
