Richland Center pulled a big upset in the tournament last week.
I talked to coach Ryan Lemke over the weekend about Richland Center, a 13 seed, knocking off number four Mount Horrib on Thursday night, six to three.
We've won nine out of our last 11 games, playing really good baseball.
Not perfect baseball, but we don't need perfect baseball.
We just need to play clean.
We need to do what we've been preaching all year and they've done that.
And right now,
We feel like we can play with any team in the state.
Doesn't matter what conference they're in.
Doesn't matter their wins or losses.
Doesn't matter who they're throwing on the bump.
We feel like we can be in a game.
And if we get into a dog play with the team, we have a really good shot at coming out on top.
The nice thing about baseball is that, I think, depending on the level, the division, the size, school, baseball is baseball.
And sometimes it's how the ball bounces.
That's exactly it, right?
I mean, they had a couple guys last night that put really pretty
swings on the ball and had a couple of 390 foot outs.
When you got number two Brady Dosh in center field and that ball's near, you know, you got a shot to make a play and exactly what he did, our left fielder guy Klingel just came up with a big diving full-out extension catch in the seventh to really cut off any shot of a rally from Mount Horob.
And then on the other side of the thing, we hit balls that dropped.
We had some little duck snorts that landed.
And they had some little duck snorts that landed.
And that's the way of the game, baseball.
As long as you're making good contact, trust the process and trust that you're going to do what you need to do.
And hope the calls go your way in those 50-50 calls, either at the plate or on the mound or in the field.
So we did a nice job just kind of playing our game.

The Richland Center girls soccer team fell in their last home game.
That was on Friday night to Wisconsinites Barnabelle 2-1.
The Hornets will play
Heights again Thursday in the WIAA regionals.
A two-run homerun in the fourth inning was all the offensive support Jacob Mizorowski needed in Sunday's two-nothing shutout victory.
Jake Bowers connected with a man on base.
The Miz continued his brilliant pitching in May by throwing seven innings without giving up a run yesterday.
He allowed just one earned run in the month.
Good for an ERA of zero point.
23.
Here's manager Pat Murphy talking
about the myth.
He was very good.
Let's let's face it.
When you throw seven big league innings against the team at their place that have won eight out of their last 11 or eight out of their last 12 and you have those type of horses in the middle of the lineup, you know, I thought he did great.
