For the first time since July 2019, the words of "Haba Haba" were sang following a Baileys Harbor win after the A's knocked off the Institute Cubs on Sunday 6-3.

The Cubs struck first when a groundout by Robby Pollman was followed by errors that pushed across two runs. The A's would take their first lead of the ballgame in the fourth inning Ben Johnson drove in Matt Francesconi with a single and Joe Burlo knocked in Cooper Cole and Johnson with a single of his own to make it 3-2. The Cubs would quickly answer in the fifth inning with an RBI single by Brent Haberli made it 3-3. 

The A's would retake the lead in the fifth Francesconi drove in Issac Berkley to make it 4-3. They would double up the Cubs  in the seventh with Cole and Chris Lodl driving in runs to make it 6-3. The Cubs would get a man on in the eighth inning, but failed to bring him home to score before going 1-2-3 in the the ninth with Jace Johnson throwing to scoreless innings in relief.

Berkley reached based five times in the A's win, scoring twice. He along with Joe Burlo had multi-hit games as Jon Kordon secured the win, giving up three runs across seven innings while striking out five.

Frankie Ash took the loss, giving up six runs across seven innings with a strikeout. Brent Haberli led the way with two hits and a RBI while Josh Pflieger and Ash added singles.

In other Door County Baseball League action, Kolberg tipped Sister Bay 4-3,  Washington Island trounced Maplewood 20-6, and West Jacksonport topped Egg Harbor 5-4. 

Between the ninth-inning drama and an appearance from Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon, there was enough action to complement the 6-5 Sister Bay win on 105.1 The GOAT. 

Dillon threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the start of the game between Sister Bay and Washington Island and then found his way to putting a headset on for a sit-down interview with New Radio Sports Network after signing many items for fans and kids. 

The scoring did not begin until the bottom of the second inning when Sister Bay's Stewart Larsen and Griffin Cole were scored on a sacrifice fly from Sawyer Johnson and a wild pitch respectively. Washington Island would come right back, however, as Ben Geiger and Luke Geiger were driven home on a triple from Ray McDonald to tie the game at 2. 

Tom Sawyer would score a run again in the 3rd inning, and the score would stay at 3-2 until the top of the sixth inning when Washington Island responded with a triple from Ryan Jorgenson scoring Ben Johnson. Ben Geiger would then triple himself, bringing home Jorgenson and giving Washington Island a 4-3 lead. 

However, that lead would not last long as Sister Bay would answer back with three stand-up doubles in a row from Griffin Cole, Sam Forkert, and Sawyer Johnson giving Sister Bay a one-run lead of 5-4. 

Washington Island would tie the game up in the top of the ninth inning as an error on Sister Bay's third baseman Stewart Larsen would give Ben Johnson a chance to double in the runner from first base, giving the Island the lead. 

The bottom half of the inning would be even more dramatic as Alex Laughlin doubled to start the inning, Matt Hecht would bunt Laughlin over to third, and then Tom Sawyer would be intentionally walked. After Spencer Krause struck out, Stewart Larsen drew a walk, and then Ryan Jorgenson would balk, bringing home Laughlin and winning the game for the Bays.

In Maplewood, the Mets escaped its matchup against Baileys Harbor with a 6-4 win. The Mets plated five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, taking advantage of four walks in the final three innings. Adam Gutschow and J. Jeanquart each drove in a pair of runs. The A's scored all of their runs in the fifth inning with Lodl and J. Burlo each driving in a pair after the Mets scored an opening-inning run. It was a heartbreak for the A's, which nearly broke a two-year losing streak by outhitting the Mets 9-4 and holding a three-run lead into the bottom of the eighth inning. 

In other league action, Egg Harbor topped Kolberg 6-1 and West Jacksonport cruised past Institute 12-2. 

The Sister Bay Bays were able to outlast and outscore the West Jacksonport Ports 6-2 on an cloudy overcast day in Jacksonport on 105.1 The GOAT. 

Tom Sawyer started off the scoring for Sister Bay right away in the top of the first inning, singling into left field to score Laughlin from second base. Sam Forkert was the starting pitcher for Sister Bay, as he was dominant throughout the beginning of the game, blanking the Ports until the sixth inning. 

In the third, it was Spencer Krause singled to center field to bring home Laughlin again, to extend the Bays lead to 2-0. Laughlin would score once again in the 6th inning, as Tom Sawyer got the RBI, his second of the game, making the lead 3-0. 

Jaeger Brusky would give West Jacksonport two runs in the sixth off of a double to the right-center gap off of the new Sister Bay pitcher Matt Hect. 

Sister Bay would put the game out of reach in the ninth inning when the tempers would begin to flare, as Spencer Krause would single, and the runner Tom Sawyer would score on an error by the center fielder. Hect would double, scoring Krause to make it 5-2, and a wild pitch would bring home another runner to make the final score 6-2. 

KOLBERG 18, MAPLEWOOD 3

The Kolberg Braves picked up where they left off last year's double championship season with a convincing 18-3 victory over the Maplewood Mets on Sunday afternoon. Both teams scored a pair of runs in the second inning, but it was all Braves after that as they registered six runs over the following two innings and ended the game with scoring stints of four runs in the seventh and six more in the eighth to help end the game an inning short. Derek Schninktgen led the way with four RBI after going 4-4 at the plate. Austen Rohe and Nick LeCaptain added three RBI while Kyle Routhieaux knocked in a pair. Kordell Draves knocked in both runs for the Mets with a pair of singles. Jake Schneider earned the win with 10 strikeouts across four innings of work while allowing two earned runs.
