WEST BEND \u2014 After a five-day layoff, West Bend West\u2019s baseball team picked up right where it left off, knocking off defending Division 2 state champion New Berlin Eisenhower 5-2 in a nonconference matchup at Regner Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Spartans had already clinched the inaugural Glacier Trails Conference title before sweeping Kettle Moraine Lutheran last week and made it six wins in a row to improve to 23-1 overall.<\/p>\n

The Lions struck first with a run in the top of the second, but West evened things up with a single tally in the third, then took the lead for good with one more run in the fifth.<\/p>\n

The big blow came in the bottom of the sixth, when the Spartans struck for three runs. Eisenhower was able to push across a run in the seventh, but would ultimately fall to 16-8 on the season.<\/p>\n

Maddex Welzien went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and two runs scored to lead the West offense. Colton Steinmetz had two hits, including a double, and also scored twice out of the leadoff spot.<\/p>\n

Dieter Pommer added two hits in four at-bats, driving in a run, while Kingston Bechler also had an RBI for the hosts.<\/p>\n

Cullen Roell went the distance on the mound, allowing one earned run on eight hits, walking three and also striking out three in his seven innings of work.<\/p>\n

West hosted Campbellsport on Thursday and closes out the regular season today at former North Shore Conference foe Nicolet before turning its attention to the postseason. The Spartans are a No. 2 seed and will host the winner between No. 7 Homestead and No. 10 Oshkosh West in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal on June 4. Unbeaten Germantown is the No. 1 seed in West\u2019s sectional.<\/p>\n

Eisenhower, which visited Arrowhead on Thursday, is a No. 1 seed in the bottom half of its Division 2 sectional. It will host either No. 9 St. Francis or the eighth-seeded Chesterton\/St. John\u2019s Northwestern\/ University Lake co-op on Tuesday in a regional semifinal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WEST BEND \u2014 After a five-day layoff, West Bend West\u2019s baseball team picked up right where it left…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":711859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2288],"tags":[5,33981,2328,2304,4,2305,2303,185],"class_list":["post-711858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb-postseason","tag-baseball","tag-free-article","tag-major-league-baseball-playoffs","tag-major-league-baseball-postseason","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-playoffs","tag-mlb-postseason","tag-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116657734708989944","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=711858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/711859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
