Soft Prairie at Redesburg and Richland Center at Mount Horab. I talked to RC coach Ryan Lemke

following his team's big upset in the tournament as a 12-seat knocking off number five portage

two to one in nine innings. Yeah, it was a really, really nice win for the program. We were trying to

figure out when the last first and center baseball playoff win was and I think we got it back to

2013 was the last playoff win. I could be wrong on that. There's no verification with that but

that's where I was talking to some of the coaches that have been around for a while. That's the

year we got. So definitely a nice win. Kind of got a little monkey off our back in terms of getting

a playoff win. So definitely feels good. Who are some of the heroes for you on Thursday?

Yeah, Elaine Miller, right? He hit through seven and two-thirds,

but through a four-hitter against a really good offensive team,

walked two, one with a base open, so we kind of pitched around their three-hitter a little bit

and just totally dominant, you know, pitched to contact, only four strikeouts

and our defense behind them. Just an absolute phenomenal game played, you know, bent a little bit

with a couple errors, but never let it get to us. And that's exactly what we've been trying to

preach all these long co-washinger, who was our short stop on lanes on the bump, had seven put out

to Brady Dosh with a game-sealing full sprint catch in the gap with the bases loaded,

and then Teed Perkins with an RBI single for the go ahead run in the ninth inning,

and co-washinger is just a speed demon on the base pass. So it was a great effort by our

guys, really a cut to win, and to stand there against, you know, a five-seed with really

nothing to lose and just throw counter-punch up for counter-punch against a team that we just,

I'm so proud of the guys. I'm so proud of the guys after Thursday.

That's Ryan Lemke, Richland centerhead baseball coach, is team now advances in the tournament

on Tuesday. They will play Mounthorab. Reliever Elvis Pagaro gave up the deciding run

on the bottom of the eighth inning as the Brewers lost the final game of a long road trip to the one.

William Contreras knocked in Milwaukee's only run with a single in the fifth inning,

but the Brewers finished one for eight with runners in scoring position.

Pagaro took the loss that a feat prevented a winning road trip with manager Pat Murphy squad

dropping five out of nine games. Rookie Robert Gasser starts this afternoon to begin a four-game

series at American Family Field against the Chicago Cubs. It'll be a great series and Justin

Steele, who's 0 and 2 of the five 68 ERA will counter for the Cubs. It's the beginning of a four-game

series today. The Cubs lost to St. Louis 4-3 yesterday. Miami-3 Arizona won Colorado 5-2 over

Philadelphia, Atlanta 8 Pittsburgh 1, the Mets 4, San Francisco 3, Cincinnati 4-1 over the Dodgers.

In the American League, Detroit 14, Toronto 11, Tampa Bay 4-1 over Kansas City,

Baltimore beat the White Sox 4-1, Texas 6, Minnesota 2, Houston 5-2 over Oakland,

Cleveland 5, and the Angels 4. In Inter League play, Seattle 9-5 over Washington,

and San Diego beat the Yankees 5-2. And also as a win for the Dallas Mavericks, who made all the

big plays again, beating the Timberwolves 116-107 to take a three-nothing lead in the Western

Conference Finals. On the state of Wisconsin scene, the Badger football schedule is projected as

the fourth toughest in the Big 10 Conference for the upcoming season. The addition of four teams

from the Pac-12, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington changes the conference landscape.

The same projection from BadgersWire.com would rank Wisconsin's schedule strength in the top 40

in the country. The University of Wisconsin whitewater is earned a return trip to the NCAA

Division III World Series, which starts on Friday. The last time the war hawks made it this far was

2016. A pair of victories over UW-LE lacrosse kept them alive. Head coach John Vodenlich has

led the team to two national titles in 2005 and 14. Whitewater as a record of 49 entering the

tournament. The Packer roster is one of the most athletic in the NFL using the relative athletic

score. Green Bay rates seventh. The front office has known for searching out top athletes on draft

day. The report on PackersWire.com points to General Manager Brian Gooddekunst and team scouts

thinking that bigger, more athletic players have a higher ceiling when they develop in Profitball.
