Manitowoc Lincoln put another one in the bag on Saturday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Ripon Tigers an 11-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Ships, who have now won four matches by ten runs or more so far this season.

Bennett Johnson looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Vance Schroeder was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with three RBI and one run. Zach Bradl also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Manitowoc Lincoln kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in May of 2024.

Manitowoc Lincoln's win was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-0. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.2 runs on average over those games. As for Ripon, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-11 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Manitowoc Lincoln will venture away from home to challenge De Pere at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Ships' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Redbirds have averaged an impressive 7.9 runs per game this season. As for Ripon, they will challenge Plymouth at 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Tigers are facing the Panthers at the right time seeing as the Panthers are stuck on a six-game losing streak.
