The Sheboygan Area Lutheran Crusaders will head out on the road to challenge the Gibraltar Vikings at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Sheboygan Area Lutheran can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Saturday. They lost 14-4 to Roncalli. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it eight in a row.
Meanwhile, Gibraltar was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their 15th straight loss dating back to last season. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 6-4 heartbreaker at the hands of Hilbert. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Vikings have suffered since April 27, 2024.
Emilie Glocke spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits.
On the hitting side, Gibraltar saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Megan Gallant, who went 1-for-3 with one run. Olivia Pelkey also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Sheboygan Area Lutheran took their win against Gibraltar when the teams last played back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 13-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Crusaders since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
