Gage Baggs and Jake Makaryk combined for a 3-hitter but the Penguins still came up short versus the #4-ranked Pittsville Panthers on Tuesday night at Tri-County.
The Penguins outhit the Panthers 5 to 3, but 5 Penguin fielding errors led to 4 unearned runs for the Panthers to put the game out of reach. The Penguins loaded the bases in the second with no outs, but the Panthers converted the force out and home and struck out the final two Penguin hitters to retire the side.
Offensively, Conner Thurley led the way going 2-for-3 with a single and an infield single. RJ Meddaugh hit a double, Gage Beggs chipped in a single, and Dame Friebel beat out an infield single.
The Penguins next game is Thursday, April 9th at conference rival Port Edwards' Palen Field at 4:30 PM.
Our High School STEAM 2 class had the incredible opportunity to tour Lambeau Field and explore its Hall of Fame. Students not only experienced this iconic venue firsthand and learned about the Green Bay Packers' rich history, but also gathered valuable insights for their research projects.
As part of their studies, students are comparing different types of sports fields, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of natural grass versus turf. This real-world experience provided meaningful context and enhanced their understanding in ways that go beyond the classroom.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Green Bay Packers Community Outreach Program and another generous donor for making this memorable and educational experience possible.
Highlights include Seth Hildebrandt's pitching performance (no decision), going 4-2/3 innings and allowing only 1 run (earned), 3 hits, 2 walks, and 4 K's. Seth helped his cause at the plate by going 2-for-3 with a double, BB, R, RBI. Conner Thurley chipped in at the plate going 2-for-4 with 2 RBI's. Chevy Houk smacked a double in the 6th.
The Penguins are in action today at 4:30 PM versus last year's state semifinalist Pittsville Panthers.
