Washington Island's baseball squad halted Kolberg's 17-game winning streak on Tuesday, edging the Braves 8-5 in a Door County League showdown.
The Islanders exploded for seven runs in the second frame, a burst sparked by timely hits from Ben Geiger and an untimely infield error that turned a routine play into a rally.
Right-hander Ryan Jorgenson kept the Braves at bay, limiting damage despite allowing them to put the ball in play, while a sturdy defensive effort turned several chances into outs.
Looking ahead to the rematch
With the win, Washington Island climbs into a tie for first place at 7-1, and the team now looks ahead to a much-anticipated rematch in Kolberg scheduled for August 16, a game that promises another chapter in the storied contest.
