Kiel dropped their record down to 8-2 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins at home. They fell just short of the Chilton Tigers by a score of 5-3. The Raiders were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Kiel saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Cade Voelker, who went 3-for-4 with two runs.
As for Chilton, the win (which was their seventh in a row) raised their record to 10-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games.
On Chilton's side, Peyton Juckem spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on seven hits. Juckem has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Hudson Ludwig, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Mike Vanden Heuvel, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
