The Kohler Blue Bombers will face off against the Ozaukee Warriors at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Kohler knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully Ozaukee likes a good challenge.
Kohler is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Sevastopol a 14-0 shutout on Friday. The Blue Bombers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight games by seven runs or more this season.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Kohler has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Ozaukee struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Kohler beat Ozaukee 9-5 when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Do the Blue Bombers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Warriors turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
