Lomira Baseball Scores Five Runs in Seventh to Upset Ledgers

On May 28, Lomira baseball defeated Springs 6-5 on the road in the first round of the Division 3 WIAA Baseball Tournament in thrilling fashion.
Lomira (5-17) scored the first run of the game in the first inning when Jackson Bloohm scored, giving the Lions a 1-0 lead over Springs (16-9).
Springs proceeded to score the next five runs of the game to take a 5-1 lead going into the top of the seventh inning.
The Lions loaded the bases in the seventh inning with one out after a Cooper King base hit, and Dawson Casper responded with a two-run RBI single to right field to close the gap to 5-3 in favor of the Ledgers.

“Tonight was quite a bit of fun for the boys to have a regular season full of bumps and bruises, to then win in the first round of the playoffs was awesome to see,” said Head Coach Sid Lehman. “All of our hitters came through in the clutch in that seventh inning in some way, shape, or form.”
“We’re hoping to keep this momentum going into the next round,” said Lehman.
