It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Pewaukee ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They had just enough and edged out the New Berlin West Vikings 6-5. While the Pirates didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-18), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Samantha Brewster spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned runs on 12 hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Lili Levas, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. That stolen base marked the first that she snagged this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Mya Bloedow, who scored a run while going 3-for-4.
Levas wasn't the only one making solid contact: Pewaukee kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in five consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
