Kimberly won the last time they faced Neenah and things went their way on Friday too. The Papermakers put the hurt on the Rockets with a sharp 13-4 win. The Papermakers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.

Ryan Halfmann was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Benny Kieffer, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.

Kimberly lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Kimberly's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-3-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games. As for Neenah, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Kimberly will take on rival Appleton East at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Papermakers 3.8, the Patriots 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned.
