The Hortonville Polar Bears will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Bay Port Pirates at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
Hortonville is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They fell just short of Pulaski by a score of 9-7 two weeks ago.
Hortonville got a good showing from Taiven Gass, who pitched four innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits.
At the plate, Turner Kuhnke made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Jack Tennie, who went 2-for-4 with one triple and one run.
Bay Port let Green Bay Southwest stack four runs on them in the first inning on Thursday but luckily Bay Port prevailed anyway. The Pirates narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Fighting Trojans 5-4. The Pirates haven't had any issues with the Fighting Trojans recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Parker Lawson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on six hits and racked up seven Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Bay Port is undefeated when he allows at most two earned runs, but 2-3 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Bay Port's win was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Carson Hawley, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. That's the most hits Hawley has posted since back in May of 2024. Artie Adams was another, going 2-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI.
