DAY TWO: TEAM WISCONSIN VS TEAM NEW YORK

On Friday, July 26, Team Wisconsin took the field once again to battle versus Team New York. RHP Andrew Wiesner (Sevastopol, 2028) toed the rubber to get things kicked off for the group from the Badger State—twirling three scoreless innings.

Wiesner avoided major damage despite struggling with command, missing barrels on a consistent basis to keep the score at 0-0 after three innings of play.

Team Wisconsin provided some trouble on the basepaths early on, but could not capitalize on scoring opportunities.

All was quiet until INF Cooper Hall (Cedarburg, 2028) launched a triple into the gap, showcasing his easy power in an athletic 5-foot-11, 150-pound frame. After Hall made his way around the bases, CIF/RHP Evan Harbort (Cambridge, 2028) got on the barrel and belted a double to the opposite field—breaking the scoreless tie.

Harbort worked efficiently through the first two innings of action, landing a BB for strikes while controlling his FB with ease. The right-hander ran into some trouble in the sixth inning, allowing two runs to Team New York.

While facing a deficit heading into the final frame, Team Wisconsin pulled off its second comeback of the evening with the help of INF/RHP Kallen Magli’s (DeForest, 2028) baserunning. The to-be freshman put on a delayed steal to swipe third base, forcing an errant throw with two outs to tie the game back up at 2-2.

From there, Team New York was able to get the final out of the ballgame, ending it in a tie. Magli tossed a clean inning and set up Team Wisconsin for a fourth game this weekend.

Before that though, they will take on Team Louisiana at 2:45 PM on LakePoint 14, looking to notch another victory on the weekend.

In the top of the fourth the bats would come alive again as Paczocha reached base on a single to right field, the next at-bat Check would drive him in on an RBI triple. Check would score the at-bat on a passed ball bringing the lead to two.
