We're at Wildwood Baseball Park where tonight the Sheboygan South High Red Wings take on Green Bay West in a Fox River Classic Conference game. Hello everybody, my name is Mike Martin. And South comes in tonight with a 9-3 record. They're 5-2 in conference. West comes in with no non-conference games. Their own eight, they're really struggling. Had a chance to talk to their head coach, Ryan Sturm. And he's a teacher over at Lombardi Middle School and he said, you're a young team and looking at their roster. They have seven different or seven sophomores, freshman on the team and only two seniors, so they are quite young. South comes in, like I said, with a 9-3 record. They're 5-2 in conference. They're outstanding shortstop. Tyler Zeetz is going to be on the mound tonight. And he's a good one. Zeetz coming into tonight's this afternoon's game has got a 3.50 ERA. He's struck out eight in 14 innings. He'll be on the mound. Bayport is in first place. In second place is Sheboygan North. They're a game back. South is two games back. They're having a good year. Stepping in for the Wildcats, the leadoff hitter is Jake Kellner. Kellner is a junior. Takes ball one. Our umpires tonight behind the plate is Todd Stufagren and on the bases is Dan Schmetz. Pitch on the inside. Off the plate is ball two. It's 2-0. And Zeetz runs the count to 3-0. Kellner swings at that 3-0 pitch and sends it out to right field where it's caught. For the out making that catch out there was Matt Miller. Next up for Green Bay West is Zack Azuka. Azuka is the pitcher tonight for West. He's a senior. There's a pitch on the outside corner for a strike by Zeetz. Tyler Zeetz also a very good hitter. One-on-one is the count. South won the other night against the Green Bay Southwest in a very close game. They won 3-2. They only had five hits in the ball game but they were clutch hits and that's the key to winning baseball games. You got to get them when they count. Pitch is high. It runs the count to 3-1. You like your pitchers to get ahead if they can. Zeetz having trouble with that so far. The ball comes back in the Carter Ommonson. It's raining outside, not heavy. We are getting a little bit of an early start to try and beat the rain so wetness on the ball is going to be an issue. Next up for West is Mitch Egan. Egan playing out in center field tonight. That pitch is low. Azuka on first. You can't see him in the corner of your screen so he's not way off the base, hanging pretty tight. Followed by Egan at the plate. Put a good swing on it but couldn't square up on it. We've got the A-team here tonight. Richard Bartson on the first base camera. Kerry Kautzer behind home plate. He's got Mailoff in the truck. Our director. And we do have a third camera that's being run by the invisible man. That's a stationary camera. Gives you another perspective there. You see it right there.  Zeetz with a pick off attempt and they got Azuka. Picked him off a first. Got a little too much of a lead. And Zeetz was able to pick him off. So that means two outs now. And you see what I was talking about with the ball being dry or wet because of rolling in the grass. It's raining out. And through that one out of play, they'll dry it off in the dugout. Egan sitting at the plate with no ball, two strike count. There's two outs now. Nobody on. And Zeetz with the strike out. At the end of one half inning of play. Green Bay West zero. South coming to bat.  Just being there makes all the difference. Every day, thousands of people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest. Would you know how to help? Or would they be all alone? Learn what to do at heartrescunow.com. Back at Wildwood Baseball Park. We're heading into the bottom of the first. South able to keep the ball off. West off the board in the top of the first. And now it's going to be a south turn. Tyler Zeetz. The pitcher will lead it off. He'll be followed by John Raff. And then Carter Amundsen. Zeetz is going to step in. He's got 16 hits and 41 at bats. He's hitting 390. He's also scored a team leading 15 runs. He's also drawn eight walks, which is high for the team lead with Raff. He's going to get on base. Azuka pitching for West. And doing the catching for the Wildcats is John Day. Azuka, we mentioned, is a senior. Raff, when he's not pitching, is a south shortstop. Pitch is outside. West, in years past, and I'm talking 20, 30, 40 years ago even, had one of the best sports programs in the conference. And things have gone downhill for the Wildcats. Most of that is a result of just the change in the way the city is structured in terms of demographics. They've got some athletes over there. They don't always have a lot of experience. But Coach Ryan Sturm is working hard with the boys and trying to keep them motivated. He came plain hard. That pitch is outside. It's 3-0 to Zitz. Like we mentioned earlier, he's drawn a team leading eight walks and he's very patient up there. He probably won't be swinging at this 3-0 pitch. And that pitch goes in high. It's a walk. Zitz is on first. And that's going to bring up John Raff. Raff is pretty much the full-time catcher. He does a little bit of pitching. Bio on him. He's one of the two seniors in their program. They have some information on the two seniors. Coming into pinch run for South is Joey Schultz. You might remember that name. Joey plays football and basketball. He's a pretty good basketball player. He's got good quickness. Anyway, in John Raff's bio, it's got his favorite food. His pork chops. I'm a pork chop, man. How about you, Mike? Mike Ratz up here with me. He's running the scoreboard and the book for South. Can't talk to Mike too much because there's a lot to do with running the scoreboard and the book. That's a full-time job. Raff trying to lean his elbow in to take a hit by pitch, but couldn't quite get it. Takes a ball. It's 2-0 to John. Joey Schultz on it first. Pinch running for Tyler Zietz. Pitch is hit to a short right. The second baseman out and gives way to the right fielder who makes the catch. Max Prazanski made the catch out in right. Good communication by those boys. Carter Omonson is really a story so far this year. Carter has just been ripping the cover off the ball. He's got 23 hits, leads the team by a wide margin and only 43 at bats. He's hitting 535 on the high school season. He's got 16 RBI's, leads the team in that category. Also has nine doubles, leads the club in that category. Schultz steals second base. And the throw goes out in the outfield but Joey's going to hang on at second base. He's in scoring position now for Omonson. That's stuff we're going to be taking that ball out of play. Getting a dry ball in there. Like I mentioned, Omonson is really having an outstanding year. He also has three stolen bases. Moved out from behind the plate with Raph there. Carter does some catching, not a great deal. Sends a pop-up out of play. One-on-one the count to Carter Omonson. Carter also a basketball player. I believe he plays football too, doesn't he, Mike? We won't mention that he gave it up last year then. Baseball and basketball. He's playing legion ball again this summer too. Another ball hit foul out on New Jersey Avenue. Well, it's pretty nice up here in the booth. It's not very nice out there on the field. It's starting to rain a little bit harder. Not enough where they'd call the game, but certainly not a comfortable situation for the boys. Azuka is very deliberate in his motion. It's a line drive to second baseman. And a nice playmate over there by Jake Kellner. And the runner, Schultz, moves over to third base. So with two outs, Robert Huffman is up in a clutch situation. And this is what we're talking about in that southwest game that the Red Wings won three to two. They didn't get many hits, but when they got them, they really counted. Huffman comes in hitting 270. He's got 13 RBI. So he's been an RBI man for the Red Wings. Let's see if he can deliver. Makes that first pitch and pops it up. Day looking for it. And couldn't quite make the catch. So they have to give him an error on that. Not making the catch. Huffman back in there. Huffman's a good athlete. A lot of multi-sport players for the Red Wings. Azuka's pitch is outside. Evens a count at one and one. There's two outs. Joey Schultz is on third base. He came in to pinch run for Tyler Zitz, who walked. Joey stole second. That's the third on a ground out by Carter Amundsen. Huffman, soft liner, right to Kellner. And he makes a catch. And that's the end of one inning of play. No score. We'll be right back with the top of the second. He serves his party best, who serves the country best, rather for a B. Hayes. Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country, Calvin Coolidge. Government is the people's business. And every man, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax pay, Ronald Reagan. There's nothing wrong in America that can't be fixed of what is right in America, William Clinton. Either we, now. Back at Wildwood Baseball Park, getting ready to start the second inning. I was mentioning I had a chance to talk with Coach Ryan Sturman, his assistant, Paul Hig. Hig is a graduate of South High. He graduated in 1995. He has several brothers that live in town. Paul is a teacher at West. I mentioned that Ryan Sturm teaches middle school at Lombardi Middle School in Green Bay. Those guys got their work cut out for him. Leading off the top of the second is Nick Gretzen. Gretzen playing shortstop. He's a junior. Pitch right down the middle. Gretzen's a count at one-on-one. Sal's looking to stay in conference contention. They're two games out of first. Recolytus over Tanner Recolytus, making the catch in fall territory. Measured that one nicely, got to the warning track and made the one-handed catch. Next up for West is their first baseman, Mitch Gretzen. Mitch is a junior also. Steps in, left-handed hitter. They get that camera shot by our third camera, and there's Kerry Kautzer's shot. A little up from that field camera shot. Ball fall back by Gretzen. Richard Bartzen is down the first baseline. Line drive, Gretzen nails it past the South High second baseman, Huffman, and he has a base hit. One out. The Wildcats have a runner on first. John Day, the catcher. Stepping in. Take his wax at home plate. Gretzen doesn't look like much of a stealing threat, but he's still got to keep an eye on him. Zeitz has a good arm. Put a little mustard on it when he needs to. Day not able to get around on that pitch. He's trying to file in. This game got started about ten minutes early. That's why some of the fans, they're on time. It's the game that got started early. Zeitz with a two-in-one count on the batter. That pitch is a little bit low. Makes it three-in-one. Tyler had some problems in the first inning. Throwing strikes was able to get out of it without any damage. And Day swings and misses, so they have a full count, three-in-two, with Gretzen, pardon me, greeting on first. And Zeitz, Powder River, struck out Day. Zeitz's second strike out. Aaron Mitchell up. Mitchell playing third base. Zeitz pitch rides outside for ball one. Greeting is still on first. He got that single to right center. Ball two. Zeitz throwing a lot of pitches. Not getting ahead of the hitter the way Coach Craig Klase would like. And again, that pitch outside, it's three-in-one. Craig Klase is the head coach for South. He teaches over at Farnsworth Middle School. There's a strike. Craig Klase in his 12th year as the head coach. And that pitches a strike, swung and missed. And now we got a three-two count. Greeting will be on the move here. And Zeitz strikes out the batter, Mitchell, and that ends the top of the second. No score through an inning and a half.

Train counselors are on call 24-7 to help with parenting problems. Getting ready to lead off for the Red Wings in the bottom of the second is Tanner Recolitis. Tanner is hitting an even 300. He's 12 for 40. Does have six doubles and 10 RBI's. At 10 RBI's ranks, him a third on the team. Just looking at the records from last year and South finished the season at 14 and 14. And they were sixth in conference. Definitely doing better this year. That's pretty good pitching. And obviously, they're hitting the ball real well. Their team average is a 336, which is a really, really good. Team ERA is also very outstanding at 2.95. And we mentioned about Zitz and how he was doing on the mound in 14 innings. He had a 3.5 ERA. He has given up, however, 19 hits. And it kind of reflects the way his first two innings have gone, allowing a hit in each inning. What he needs to stay away from are the walks. He's going to allow that many base hits. Tanner Recolitis, the first baseman steps in. Tanner made a nice catch in fall territory. Last half inning. Tanner does a lot of pitching for the Red Wings. Another one on the mound is already throwing 25 innings. He has a 3.36 ERA. He mentioned he's hitting an even 300. Ball two. Azuka able to work out of a first inning jam. Joey Schultz, pinch running for Zitz, made it all the way to third before the last out was recorded. A pitch up. Azuka questioning Todd Stuffergren on that pitch. It's three and all. Strike mixed in there somewhere that I missed. It's three and one. That pitch is also a strike. Full count now to Tanner Recolitis. Tanner being very patient at the plate. On the season, he's only walked four times. That ball ought to play. It's hard to tell on your screen at home, but it is raining out there. And the field is definitely wet. Might get a little better look at it there. See a little bit of haze. A little bit of mist on Richard's camera over there at first base. That pitches way up and Tanner takes it for ball four. So another lead off hitter is on for the Red Wings. Next up is Jared Recolitis. Jared is a sophomore. He's only hitting 207 on the year. Does have a home run and a double and four RBI's. Big kid. Tanner Recolitis taking a nice lead off a first. Ball is hit out of play out on New Jersey Avenue. You know, with having a three camera setup, Scott Mailoff in the truck has a little more work to do. We usually go with only two cameras and it's a matter of flicking that switch back and forth. Got to work with another dial or so. But he's up to the task. You see Recolitis taking a bit of a lead. You can see him now in your monitor. That means he's got a pretty good lead over there. And he's going. Pitches outside, days throw down to second. Short hops the second baseman and Recolitis is in with a stolen base. For Tanner, that's his fourth stolen base now. Leading the team in that category along with Zitz who has four. Doesn't look like Zitz will get any tonight. However, when he gets on there, we're going to be pinch running for him. Let the pitcher get a little bit of a rest. Jared Recolitis falls it right back off the face mask of John Day. One ball and two strikes to Jared Recolitis. Jared is the DH tonight. He's batting for Nick Borstead. Borstead is playing third. We'll have to see if Nick gets in the ballgame to get in it bat. But right now it's Recolitis. Jared Recolitis. Jared again falls it off the mask of Day. Day has taken a beating back there. The two mics in the booth are glad we're up here. And that pitch has swung on and missed. Azuka with the strikeout of Recolitis. Azuka's first strikeout of the ballgame. Zack recording a strikeout to go along with a couple of walks. Next up for the Red Wings is number 33 Matt Miller. Matt playing out in right field. Matt has seen limited action so far this year. He's only come to bat eight times but he does have four hits. Pitch rides inside. Struck twice. Struck out twice. Has a couple of sacrifices. Just moved up. Matt is a sophomore. Just moved up to the varsity. That's why his at bats are low. Curve ball hangs up. Four. Where is that a strike? It's hard to tell.   It's a little tough to see from back in the press box. Drive out to a left field. By Hoffman is in there a base hit. And Clay holds Recolitis at third. Nice piece of hitting there by Matt Miller. Next up for the Red Wings is the center fielder, Mitchell Martinez. Martinez is really striking the ball well. He's 11 for 30 hitting 367. And I've seen him play over the years and I like him. He's a good player. He plays hard. Pretty good fielder. He does have seven RBIs. One drawback maybe to Mitchell in terms of his batting anyways. He does have eight strikeouts in only 30 at bats. You may want to clean that up a little bit. But the average is certainly up there. Miller taking a couple extra steps. But Zuka drives him back. And now you can see Matt Miller taking a little shorter lead. Now he's starting to stretch it a little bit. Zuka comes set at the belt. And the pitch falls straight back. Mike, you can get up from under the counter now. The ball is down on the grass. It stopped rolling. Martinez is a junior. Had a nice season last year. He's a football player. The ball is hit up in the air on the infield. Racing back and measuring it and making the catch is the first baseman, Mitch Greaton. And now there are two outs. Four of the Red Wings. Aaron Gutierrez stepping into a hit. AJ is a freshman. And as we look through, he's got 21 at bats. He's got five hits. He's hitting 238. He'll need to come through in the clutch. For a south, the score runs. There's two outs. Runner's on at first and third. Dracolitis still perched over at third. He's been there for a couple of hitters. Over at first base is Matt Miller. Matt looked like he was going to steal when Mitchell Martinez was up. But Zuka kept them close. Kept them on first base. Line drive to left. Racing back, racing back. And he can't make the play. The ball is down. Two runs are going to score for the Red Wings. And give the batter. Aaron Gutierrez a double. And two RBI's. Good job of hitting. And south on the board. It looked like the left fielder, Austin Willaquette had a beat on it but he just couldn't quite catch up with it. He's up the lead off hitters. Zitz walked his first time. The chance to help his own cause. Zitz swings and misses. Ball got away from day. And hustling over to third base was Gutierrez. It's two to nothing south. Gutierrez with a two RBI double. Right over the left fielder's head. As I look down on the, that extra section in front of home plate where the cement is, the rain seems to be coming down a little harder now. Richard down that first base line is out in the elements. It'd be very nice for him. Azuka looking in. Ball is driven to right. Moving over and measuring it. And making the catch for the third out was Max Prozonski. And that's the end of the inning for the Red Wings but they come up with a pair of runs and lead it after two complete, two to nothing. My diabetes tests me every day. It tests my parents, my friends, my gymnastics practice. But J. Durath has my back. They're working hard to find a cure for type 1 diabetes which for me would mean freedom. And they help me now with better treatments and new devices that make my life easier. The folks at J. Durath test themselves every day. So someday I will have to. J. Durath, improving lives, curing type 1 diabetes. Let's go. Hey. Hey, hi, what's your name?  Where are you guys going? Where you on? Where you on? This is about time to get you fixed, sweetie. Your pets will start getting noticed sooner than you think. Accidental litters lead to millions killed in shelters each year. Help prevent more, fix at month four. Back at Wildwood Baseball Park there you see it south leading by a score of 2-0 as we enter the top of the third. Leading off the inning for the West Wildcard. Cats is their number eight hitter, Max Prozonski. Zeitz's first pitch is up and in for ball one. So far in the ball game, Tyler has had trouble throwing strikes but he hasn't walked anybody. But he's throwing a lot of pitches. That ball was hit pretty hard by Prozonski but foul in the bullpen area down the first base side. One-in-one is the count. We're in the top of the third. South on top, 2-0. And that pitch is called a strike. Todd Stoffergren has been in the umpiring business for quite a few years. Ball is hit to the third baseman who scoops it up and throws high over Recolitis's head. And the ball goes out of play. The runner Prozonski will go to a third. That was Nick Borstead. And if Borstead threw it over Recolitis's head, you know it was high. Because Tanner's a pretty big kid. Score that a two base error on Borstead. And that brings up to nine hitter. Left fielder, Austin Willowquett. He's out and left when Gutierrez hit that ball for a double to drive in two runs. Tries to lay down a bunt and falls it off. Also helping out on the coaching lines for South is Mike Zietz and Will Madsen. Will generally works with the pitchers.  That pitch has been called a ball. It's one-in-one. Nobody out. Prozonski on its second base. Reach there on a throwing error. And Tyler back to his old ways getting behind the hitter. Willowquett to fall off a bunt attempt and now is throwing two straight balls. That ball just passed Zietz to the second baseman. Hoffman who makes the play over to first but advancing to third was Prozonski. So even though Willowquett gets charged with a net bat he got the job done. He got the runner over to third base. That takes us to the top of the order where Jake Kellner's up. Kellner flew out to a short right back in the first inning. Kellner is a junior. Where's number three on his back? There you see Prozonski over at third base. And you get a good shot at the back of Tyler Zietz. Ground ball over to Recolitis. He steps on the bag for the out and runs scores. West is on the board. It's two to one south. But Kellner got the job done. Azuka is up next. Zach doing the pitching of course for West. He had a single back in the first and then promptly got picked off by Zietz. Pitch rides up high for ball one. It's two to one. We're in the top of the third inning. South on top. Azuka back in. It's a good rip at that. But couldn't catch up to the Zietz fastball. It's one and one. And we must have missed a strike. I think that first one was foul tick, Mike. That's what they're talking about. Anyway, that third pitch was strike three. Another strike out for Zietz. But West gets on the board. After two and a half innings of play. South to West one. Dude, I did the most shocking thing today. It was something I never thought I'd do. Parents, find out. My mom cried. What'd you do? Have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. There are thousands of teens in foster care who would love to put up with you. Ready to start the bottom of the third inning. It's going to be Raph, Carter Amundsen and Robert Huffman. Raph doing the catching. Another bit from John's bio. His favorite baseball player. Jeff Samarja, Chicago Cubs. All of a sudden, John Raph is my favorite South-high player. Just like that. John's South-high baseball memory. Anytime we beat North or Manitowoc. I get the North one, but not sure about the Manitowoc one. That comment, Mike, about an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, John's pregame ritual is eat an apple and take some ibuprofen. I would take the ibuprofen after the game. John flew out to write his first at bat, back in the first inning. We might have to go at the speed-up rules. Don't throw it around the infield after outs and between innings just to get it back to the pitcher. Todd's stuff is going to shake in the water off of his jacket. Raph trying to bunt his way on, falls it off. Good sportsmanship shown there by John Day. This is going to be like a major league game.  It's coming down pretty good. Not enough for us to stop the game and the field is actually in very good condition, but it's not conducive for baseballs, that's for sure. Ball is popped up on the infield. Shortstop comes over. Looks a little shaky, but makes the catch. That was Nick Gretzen. Carter Amundsen steps in. You mentioned Carter having quite a season. He has really been hitting the ball well so far. First pitch by Azuka is high. Carter hitting 5-22 now with his 0-1. Pitch is up high. It's 2-0. Remember a few years back when Johnny Brazali was at north. Played center field also was a guard on the basketball team, but he had just an outstanding spring with the north high baseball team. He ended up the season hitting over 500. Everything went right for John that time. That's ball 4, Amundsen on. Only one out for South. That's the third walk given up by Zac Azuka. Robert Huffman stepping in. Huffman popped up to the second baseman. His first time up. He's hitting 2-63 now. One out. Azuka drives the runner Amundsen back to the bag. Over at first for West is Greaton, first baseman. You don't want to let him get in your way going back to the bag. Big fella. Pitch is inside for ball 1. Tanner Recolitis is on deck. Tanner scored back in the second. First run for South. And then right behind him was Matt Miller. Line drive base hit to left field. Amundsen wanted to go to third and got about a third of the way down and then put on the brakes and hustled back to second base. So with one out, the Red Wings have runners on first and second and stepping up is Tanner Recolitis. His nickname is T-Rex. We're seeing him at first base tonight. I also mentioned earlier, he's got 25 innings pitched so far this season. He leads the staff in that department. His favorite food is one that everybody likes, especially the mice around my house. Peanut butter. How can it not be meat? Ball 1 to Tanner. Favorite baseball team, I like one out of the two Mike. The Nationals and the Cubbies. Got some smart players around the south side. Tanner must be a pretty smart guy because his favorite teacher is Mr. Ecklert who teaches logic. So don't get in a debate with Tanner.  That pitch is high and outside. South has runners on first and second. There's only one out. Recolitis up, Jared Recolitis. The DH is on deck. That's a ball. There's no strikes somewhere. It's 3-1. We might have to stop telling stories and start paying attention to the game. Runner's on the move and that's ball 4 to Tanner Recolitis and that loads the bases. Jared Recolitis is 0-1 in the game. He struck out back in the second inning. Now would be an excellent time to get a base hit with the bases loaded and only one out. We mentioned Jared does have a home run this season. Drives that pitch foul on the first base side. Dan Schmitz out on the bases. Our umpire out there. Dan's been around a while too. Got an experienced crew bumping tonight. Pitch rides up high. 1-1 is the count. There's one out. Bases are loaded. We're in the bottom of the third. South on top 2-1.  Azuka tosses it home to get the force but it's late and the runner slides in safe. And South adds to their lead. It's now 3-1. We'll give Jared Recolitis a fielder's choice and an RBI. And Azuka couldn't get the out at home plate. Made the right play but just a little bit late. In the booth is Chris Hine. He's all smiles. He's out of the rain. Matt's in here. Willie sometimes has to come late to the games because of his job. That's part of the reason why Mike Zitz is helping out. Up steps Matt Miller. Matt Singleton scored back in the second. We mentioned he just moved up. It's a hard one to first. Gretzen makes the play for the out and another run scores for South and a foul ball. It's a foul ball. Everybody goes back. South on top 3-1. People have to get Mr. Hine on the other head set. It's all set up for you Chris. Maybe we'll wait till the half inning's over and gather your thoughts. With all the bad weather we've had this spring it's certainly been a headache. Chris couldn't have picked a worse time to become the athletic director with all the scheduling changes. I mean it got so bad for baseball they redid the schedule. That's a pop up on the infield. That's going to be an automatic out. Infield fly rule in effect. Kellner making the catch. Now there's two outs. Mitchell Martinez is going to step in to hit. Mitchell hitting 3-54. He's 0-1 in the game. Huffman on third. Tanner Recolitis on second. Jared Recolitis over there on first. Martinez at the plate. South has gotten one run this inning. But they're looking to get a lot more. They've had many opportunities through these first three innings but have only cashed in for three runs. Could easily have been more. Martinez pops it up into center field. Oh it falls between a whole bunch of West players. Martinez is going to end up on second base. Give him a single and a two run score. It's just a case of too many players around the ball and nobody called for it. That's a big hit for Martinez to drive in two more runs. Guterres up. He doubled back in the second inning a pair of runs. He's got a chance to do it again. Tough break for West. The ball looked like it was catchable but everybody got out there but nobody called for it and it dropped in. We've got a replay on that Scott. Five to one is a score. South is tacked on three runs here in the third. Ball is high to Guterres. Azuka's pitch is low on outside for ball two. It's two and all. Jared Recolitis is at third. At second is Mitchell Martinez. Martinez did a good piece of base running. Drive out to a left field and making the catch out there was presents. It was the left fielder, Willa Kett. But South tacked on three more runs and at the end of three it's five to one. Red Wings. I'm Sandra Frye. I'm a union bus driver and I'm also a mom. During 17 years with Greyhound I've covered over two million miles. My job is to safely bring families together. I love the open road but I never forget that a bus driver could be right around the next curve. Drunk driving is the deadliest of all. As a mom and as a bus driver I have a message for you. If you drink, don't drive. Even in your senior classes when you had history, didn't want you to talk about them? No. Joining me is Chris Hine. Chris, talk a little bit about the spring and the weather and you know with all the scheduling. We're at a baseball game now and we know that it's created havoc but baseball is not the only sport that's been affected. It's been a fun experience. It's been a fun experience. It's been a fun experience. Baseball is not the only sport that's been affected. No. Every sport's been affected. It's been a little bit of a nightmare. Obviously it was tough my first year. I think Jason Liederman knew this was going to happen. Got you in there just in time? I think he did. But really it's tough as on the kids. I just feel bad for the kids missing games and opportunities for games. Especially the seniors. Some of these games we're just not going to be able to do a lot of the non-conference games from earlier this year. We just can't make up because our schedule's just so tight already the way it is with make-up days. Well I think that was indicated by the conference. Basically redrawing the schedule to get in what they could. Yeah, I don't know how many times before that's happened but drove up to Green Bay Preble on a Friday about three weeks ago and we totally redid the baseball schedule. Chris Wright was telling me that he actually did the original schedule to try and arrange it so teams were playing the same team within a week so teams couldn't load up their best pitcher against you. Like Ditter did last year with North. Craig would always hold him back to pitch against North. Yeah that was part of it. Honestly from the AD perspective the bigger part of the new schedule what they had set up originally was if you were going to play Green Bay Preble on Tuesday at home you would play at Preble on Thursday. Quite honestly the bigger reason they did that is because if that game did get rained out on Tuesday you could play the double header the next Thursday that Thursday up there. I mean it was really smart thinking by the VADs and the coaches. You got to say Chris was smart. I don't think I said that. I'm just kidding. I don't know who had the input into that but he was one of them involved. There was a lot of foresight to think that through. Well we got one out and Ian and Mitch Egan struck out. Nick Gretzen is up and Nick has a two ball one straight count. Zeith throws pretty hard. Yeah he does. This is my first chance to see him throw this here. He definitely looks like he's bringing it especially in this weather. It's 49 degrees on raining. It's hard to get your arm loose. I had a chance to talk to the West Coaches and Paul Hogg is the assistant coach. He graduated South back in 1995. It sounds like a Shabuigan name. Shabuigan South name. I think he had a lot of brothers. I think actually I played baseball against his brothers. Yeah he mentioned he's got several brothers living in the area. Mitch Gretzen is up. Gretzen singled back in the second inning. So what about with the track and tennis and girl softball. They've been able to muddle through pretty good. Everybody's been affected. I mean girl softball lost. I think their first eight games were canceled. Oh wow. And yeah so it's I mean everyone's been affected. We have had to cancel a track meet at home and you know every sport tennis. Can you stick around for another half? Sure. Well that's the end of the top of the fourth. We're through three and a half and south on top five to one. Went to Arizona for the last couple weeks of spring training and got back on the 30th of March. My first game to umpire was supposed to be April 2nd. Yeah. And I don't think I got my first game umpiring in until like the end of the month. Yeah. And just because of the weather situation. Yeah it was a nightmare. Popin I know I'm told this is a one in a 20 year deal. Right. Well you had mentioned you know how often has this ever happened and not that I have a great memory but I've been umpiring for 31 years now and I can't remember it ever being like this. Yeah I'm told by the real experience ADs in the area that some of them with good memories yet are telling me 1993 is the closest they can they can even remember to being like this. And this year they think was even worse so. Yeah I'm looking forward to next spring. Wait when you get those indoor sports like in the wintertime hopefully you won't get so much snow you won't have to cancel any of those. Yeah I'm ready to play everything indoors now we're going to see if we can play baseball. You know I was just thinking too you know you're saying about missing games and you know obviously practices are affected it's a good thing you got the field houses to help with the practice situation. Yeah our facilities were a blessing this year because you're right for the first three weeks of the season all of our spring sports were indoors. I mean the you know first three weeks and with all those new facilities we wouldn't have been able to do that and all those teams just wouldn't have been practicing. They've been practicing until 9 10 at night. Or they would have been later than that even. Tyler Zeetz leading off the bottom of the fourth it's five to one south. Zeetz drives on all to right field that's going to drop for extra bases. Most exciting playing baseball triple. Nope we're going to see a double. Zeetz with a stand up double to right field and that's going to bring up John Raff. Raff is 0 for 2. Came into tonight's game hitting 294. We can figure out what he's hitting right now because I've got my trusty phone. I know you're calling Chris Wright to ask him what that would work out to. He doesn't know. He knows nothing. John he's hitting 277 as we speak. So when you played baseball Chris what position did you play? I was a pitcher played shortstop and then first base. Was your dad the coach at that point? No he was just helping out but it's kind of funny bring that up I remember pitching a game in Sheboygan against Sheboygan North because at that time they south and north played summer so we played against them every year. But I remember pitching our first game my first game of the year which was probably about early May and weather similar to this on this very diamond against Sheboygan North. I think I threw about 150 pitches that day and I don't know if my arm ever came back. How'd you do? We won. We did. We were fortunate enough to be north that day and I think they may want to stay title that year actually. I think the year before. Yeah I don't remember the year exactly but David Moyer I remember was the head coach and they really did have a very good team. They did win State one of those couple summers when he was coaching. That ball by Raph hit off the either off the pitcher's foot or off the mound but it ricocheted right to Kellner at second base who threw out John and that brings up Carter Amundsen. Carter is 0-1 with a walk and a run scored and he's hitting over 500. Yeah he's a great player. Obviously he's been on the varsity since his freshman year just a hard working kid. I mean it's not a surprise to me at all that he has a kind of success that he has. He just has talent and work ethic and that's a great combination. Oh I know. You can't just do it on talent. You got to have that work ethic and that desire to want to be good. Absolutely and he has it. It's a success that's been earned that's for sure. Azuka's pitch is a little bit outside for ball two. Having a little trouble at times Chris telling if Todd Stufiger in the home plate umpire is if it's a ball or a strike because he raises his arm right in front of his body and sometimes it's tough to see that. Now I haven't had any mistakes with that but Mike has goofed up the scoreboard several times. Well he's he's a rookie over there so we're going to be patient with him. You're not getting fired. Matter of fact you might have this job for life. Now one of the things I know being athletic director is a tough job from the standpoint of having to be around like no better way to put it but you know you have to be around like you're here tonight watching the game. How does that factor in for other sports and throughout the course of the year do you have to be around a lot? No I mean technically you don't have to be around at all I just I want to be around you know and I want to be around watching watching our teams and watching our kids and that I mean there's nothing in my contract that says I need to be at at all the different events. At all the different events so you know obviously I want to be there to make sure things are running smoothly Is there anything outside the scope of athletics that you do? Yeah I'm an associate principal also so I mean you know I certainly have duties during the school day supervising teachers and evaluating teachers and those things so it's not yeah it goes beyond just just games. Okay I didn't know that. Amundsen's fly ball to center field is deep enough to allow the base runner Zietz pardon me Joey Schultz to score Schultz came in as a courtesy runner and give Amundsen a sacrifice flying an RBI so the average doesn't go down and another run scores it's six to one now for South and Robert Huffman Huffman is one for two with the run scored. Yeah I'll be leaving here and heading over the soccer game right after this but I just enjoy obviously sports and enjoy being around the kids and watching our kids and kind of seeing how things are going. It's hard to imagine an athletic director who didn't like kids and want to be at different events and stuff I can see where some things maybe you're not as interested in but you still want to support the teams. Absolutely. Yeah you certainly would hope there are no ADs out there that don't like kids or sports. How's Jason Liederman doing in his new position? I think he's liking it you know to be honest I'm not sure you know this when I see him he usually smiles at me because he knows what the spring has been like. So in that respect he's probably not missing the job too much. No I don't think he's missing it this spring too much to be honest. Well at the end of four complete innings of play it's a south six and west one. They fought for social change they fought against tyrants they fought for human rights yet behind these achievements are individuals who waged a more personal war they fought the struggle against mental illness and they won. In an instant everything we know can be taken away. And as an actor I've made a career on TV and performing on the Broadway stage but is that what matters most?

Chris Hine joining me up in the booth we're entering the top of the fifth innings there you see Salt on top six to one we're talking a little bit Chris is going to run over and watch the girls soccer team play tonight and I was just asking if because they played JV and then varsity and they play 40 minute running clock and it's a long time to be outside in this kind of weather anyway. Yeah the girls of you know they've had to cut it out through some tough tough weather I was telling Marty about last Friday in 6.30 right when they had varsity game kicks off I mean it's just a downpour it was coming down in sheets and it was about 43 degrees out but those girls just I mean I was impressed by their effort and how they just cut it out and weren't distracted by the weather really. That is amazing. Colin is two strikes on John Day the West catcher Zitz dealing on the mound for the Red Wings he's a good catcher. Yeah he is. Another kid who's worked extremely hard at his craft and he's put in a lot of time really been impressed by him this year. I think I know Carter was a catcher earlier in his career John Day goes down on strikes but he was a pretty good catcher too I think technically defensively and John was able to unseat him and I've known North has a couple of real nice catchers and when they get to that legion season this summer they're going to have a heck of a lot of good baseball players. Absolutely. Loaded at the catching position. I think we have a very good JV defensive JV catcher and a very good freshman catcher we're kind of blessed I'm sure there's a lot of programs out there that are looking for one catcher and I think Coach Glace is blessed to have three and if you call Carter they're just going through their program and noticing I think what did we say he's got 12 this is 12th year as a head coach Yeah that sounds about right. He's been around a long time. Absolutely how long has Coach Wright been at? He's got over 20 like 23 or 24 or something like that. I think he came on board after David Moyer stopped so yeah I think he's the longest and you're well I was going to say after baseball and going down on strikes was Aaron Mitchell let's see here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 strikeouts for Zeitz Krasonsky is up the right fielder Zeitz really having his way on the mound giving up a couple of hits one in the first second but since that time he's shut down the Wildcats there's a program that's running on tough times with a lot of the sports over there at West and I was talking to the coach and funny how that works because they were the creme de la creme back when I was in high school that program and everything has changed right I think obviously Green Bay has added a number of high schools probably since then I think originally it was just East and West and now you have with Green Bay Preble and Green Bay Southwest and Schwabinon which is right there there's just so many schools within that area West appear and school choice I think a lot of some kids are choosing out of Green Bay West I think that's a root of a lot of their issues I think that was a strike Mike if it wasn't a strike it should have been yeah of course Green Bay West and East are looking to get out of the conference yeah I saw that is there going to be any movement on that probably not next year already no there won't be any next year but looking at the 2014-2015 school year that there's a strong possibility that East and West won't be in the conference we'll know more this summer is there the possibility I suppose there is the possibility but what's the likelihood might be a better way to put it of Sheboygan schools moving to a conference south of here well at this time there hasn't really been any talk of it it's more or less reshuffling the teams yeah for whatever reason WIAA has chosen basically to focus on the northern part of the state really hasn't doesn't seem to me that they've really looked to the Milwaukee area too much right now and haven't looked south so all the focus that I'm aware of right now has been kind of away from south of Austin more towards the north and northwest and regions like that if they took west ball four to Austin Willow-Kett first and second with two outs leadoff hitter Jake Kellner up Kellner's 0 for 2 in the game what would it look like a conference outline if they took east and west out of the conference we would go to a 10 team conference which is if there's a lot of proposals out there right now the one thing that seems to be most likely is east and west leaving then also having a 10 team conference you know in which scheduling would be pretty easy then we'd be playing everybody in a conference twice and most sports except football of course you'd play everybody once and that's your nine game schedule I think that the vision business is it doesn't work outright if you can't have a championship game at the end I agree and I don't like the fact close play at first but just getting back is Willow-Kett that would have been the second pick off of the game for Zeitz he picked off Azuka Zach Azuka the pitcher for west back in the first inning it's really nice move by Zeitz over there I thought he had him but the umpire had a better view than me no he didn't as an umpire he said that time he did get him and Zeitz with his second pick off of the ball game and at the end of four and a half innings of play it's uh make it five and a half innings of play it's six to one south wow that was a quick move good you're looking at the number one cause of lung cancer that's why the surgeon general issued this warning now you're looking at the number one cause of lung cancer for non smokers that's why the surgeon general issued this warning Radon is an invisible radioactive gas that seeps inside your home from underground whether you smoke or not Radon can cause lung cancer protect your family have your home tested call 1-800-SOS Radon Radon problems can be fixed grandpa look what I got let me see oh dad wait till you see the bike we got for Jake hearing loss happens gradually with age making it easy to ignore yet most older Americans aren't getting their hearing tested untreated hearing loss can keep your loved ones enjoying what they cherish most dad can you hear me don't let that happen speak up about hearing loss you'll be glad you did we're talking about evaluation and chris had mentioned earlier that he has other responsibilities in terms of outside the AD realm which is evaluating teachers and my question to chris was do you have to evaluate coaches yeah and after every season we have an end of the season meeting the coach and myself and just reflect on the season you know the good the bad does his when you reflect with the head coach does he also bring in the any of the assistants and jb coaches I mean really that's his role he should or she should be having that same kind of conversation with his or her assistants so I mean they really should be working with their assistants closely and talking to them about areas that they're really strong or areas that they may need to work on I was just looking at the cement down there behind home plate and you can see the rain is coming down pretty good now we're going to see the toughness of those girls again tonight playing in the rain and what these low temperatures do and it's a challenge tanner recolitis is going to lead off the bottom of the fifth tanner is walked twice and scored twice he also has a stolen base he's had a pretty nice night he'd like to get in that bat where he can swing the bat and get a base hit but we'll have to see what happens zakazuka still on the mound for the Wildcats Connor Harrison on deck is going to be a pinch hitter for jared recolitis looks like your dad's been involved with baseball and Plymouth for a long long time yeah he um obviously likes it he's a baseball fanatic I mean he absolutely loves it was a head baseball coach at Plymouth for I want to say about 13 years maybe 14 years somewhere around there that was fortunate enough to take a team down the state and uh really yeah he's a huge baseball fan I gotta tell you a story when I was coaching baseball out in Chilton we uh we had a couple of rough seasons my last two years but the second last year we hadn't won a game until the second last game of the season and uh so we were like 1 and 18 and we lost our last game and went into the tournaments and for they did it different then we had a buy in the regional so we only won the regional game we won so now we're in sectionals we won our first sectional game and uh in the other sectional game it was Plymouth who had just hammered us during the year and uh cedar grove and cedar grove won so now my thinking is at least we've got a chance I mean if we'd had to play you guys again they'd just throw it a bit in no way tanner ecolitis by the way flew out and uh coming up to bat is uh number one Connor Harrison Connor making his first appearance in the ball game Connor steps in hitting 238th on the season but anyway we played cedar grove and uh wound up losing to him uh disappointing I mean it was great for cedar grove they went on the state but could you imagine that a team one one win on the season making it down the state baseball is is like that you know baseball is such a game of everything that was going wrong all year and we weren't a good team don't get me wrong but things started to break our way sure you know and if you get a hot pitch or two I mean that can carry you a long way also I I remember in the 90s and I don't remember the year particularly but I want to say Qoscombe baseball went to state and they only won four games that year they ended up getting on a roll and that was back in the day when they played those uh high school tournament games in the west bend yep I think regner park I think it's called yeah so they they got on a roll at the end of the year and in the tournament we're able to go you know make it to west bend I think you're right Plymouth had some really good team well I told you about that one year and I think well you know rick mayer and uh butch kane and those guys they want to stay a championship I think it was 1982 and that was one of the years I believe I was coaching uh out in chilton you know we had to play those guys and uh Scott Richards I believe was coach yep he was you're right digger Miller was a great player went on to Oshkosh and right was part of their world series championship teams at the division three levels played many years with the green bay blue ribbons was a great player for them butch kane who's a coach now up Plymouth was a catcher right uh rick mayer yep Matt Miller stepping in now Miller is a sophomore Chris he uh according to Mike he just moved up to the varsity he's one for two in the ball game uh good addition he's was hitting 500 while he's still is hitting 500 he's 5 for 10 but not now I think marty put the jinx on him that's that's what we do no but he's a very good athlete Miller yeah oh yeah for sure we think he's got a very bright future at at south plays basketball and baseball okay didn't know him as a baseball player but he would have been on the jv's he was on varsity actually this toward the end of the year okay he got moved up to varsity for the basketball team before we let well let's stick around because we got to talk about mic rink we didn't even talk about basketball but uh there you can see salt on top six to one we're going to be entering the sixth inning stop whether it's on the way to school at school or online bullying has become a non-stop threat to our youth today is your child being bullied a national runaway switchboard can help if you're having a hard time get online or call to chat now you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent because kids in foster care don't need perfection they need you I thought you were keeping score well we'll have to write alrighty leading off the bottom of the sixth is going to be Aaron let's talk a little bit about the new higher mic rink coach at south tell us a little bit about mic well mic's been a teacher in the building at south for I think about 12 years coach football for all 12 of those years coach basketball one time when Dan Cooper graduated from south in 1993 he was an all conference basketball player at south so he's you know red wing red yeah he's very familiar with our kids with the history of the program you know obviously he likes basketball which is prerequisite he's passionate basketball is his love he coached football for us for 12 years we always knew his passion was really basketball obviously he was a head coach at random lake that was not a good fit because I think his passion exceeded what their interest was random lakes they've gone through a number of head basketball coaches there it wasn't a real good fit for him Jake Kellner is leading off the sixth inning for west nice play by John Raff there got a new pitcher in the ball game A.J. Guterres freshman let's see if we have anything on A.J. from the stats that Craig provided for us a nice play by Amundsen who's over at third base now moving over from short looked like he wanted to leave it roll fall and still was able to get the guy at first looked like he was waiting for it to roll fall but had the wherewithal to notice it wasn't going to and the arm strength to still throw the guy out at first A.J. is one and all on the season for the varsities pitched two and a third innings has an ERA of 3.00 so looks like he could be a good one I think he pitched earlier this year against Manitowoc in a game here did a really nice job he's got a lot of ability a lot of potential so how does the basketball team look for next year I know they were pretty young and getting a little older like they have those seniors on your team yeah definitely we're excited about the possibilities for next year's basketball team you're right are the floor level coaches sticking around that's going to be up to them and Mike if it's a good fit or not that'll be their decision that's not something I would dictate who's going to be coaching for who we'll see how that all plays out but that's Mike right now in the process trying to put together a staff we're all really excited Tim built a good foundation for the future they played a lot of young kids and those kids were playing really good basketball at the end of the year they had a lot of credit because he played a lot of different guys and he gave them a chance and I thought he was well organized and he knew his basketball yeah and hopefully the kids had gained some confidence at the end of the year like I said they played very good basketball winning basketball really the last two weeks seemed like they just couldn't catch a break right and they were young and had a lot of experience they gave north a heck of a game in that regional had played pride their best basketball of the season the first half of that game and just couldn't quite hang on he knew north was going to come back with pride in the second half at home they're going to make a run at chance a matter of Azuka drew the walk and next up is Mitch Egan Egan's having a tough night he's 0 for 2 but that was against Zeitz and Tyler was pretty good tonight only gave up a couple of hits and had 7 strikeouts I was impressed with Tyler he threw the ball hard and around the plate did a really nice job in these conditions here's something Tyler's still in the game he's at shortstop and it seemed like when I was coaching we always had several outfielders and then they were good hitters and so when they would be taken out from the pitching stick them out in the outfield and hope they didn't have to make a strong throw into the infield on some kind of a play and I think you run into the same kind of situation with Zeitz being at shortstop after having thrown I don't know what his pitch counts had I know his arms is warm though so we don't have to worry about him warming up his arm first but I don't think his pitch count got too out of control tonight so I think he should be okay nice when you only have to go 5 innings Kerry Kultzer manning that camera Richard Bartzen is whoa man on first lost track of the outlets and Amundsen made the catch and then threw it over to Recolitis for the easy double play with a play assault on top 6 to 1 oops bicycle or a bag this could be a robot or an airplane this could be a playground this could be a book bag or a soccer ball this could be a book this could be beautiful this cannot be trash this cannot be a cycle learn more at thiscouldbe.org that's Richard's camera and you can see it's getting a little foggy it's really not that bad here at the park I'm just wondering if he's got some moisture inside his camera that would not be good in pitching for the Wildcats now is Ethan Bartels Bartels is a sophomore taking over for Hazuka who did a nice job when he was out there Chris Hyne joining me up in the booth imagine that talking sports probably not talking as much baseball as we should be but I hope the viewers aren't getting too annoyed by us that's our third camera Chris it's down there by the screen it's being manned by the invisible man and Kerry Kautzer is up a little higher manning the third camera and that shot right there in the truck is Scott Maloff he's spinning the dials and switching the switches getting us from camera to camera hopefully keeping everybody so they can hear us he's only turning it down when I talk I'm not sure if that's what they want I'm sure he's doing a good job Mitchell Martinez is going to lead off the bottom of the sixth Mitchell is one for two with a couple of RBI's not that big hit back in the third inning they had the bases loaded and he doubled in a pair of runs after South had scored on a fielder's choice by Recolytes hit a little topper right in front of the plate and the runner on third beat the throw home Pazuka was trying to get the force out at home but the throw was a little late and Martinez followed with a two RBI single Count is one in one we're in the bottom of the sixth south on top six to one Chris you mentioned you played baseball we know you were a and I didn't realize this I think we talked about this during the wintertime you were a really good basketball player maybe even better than a football player in high school anyway I don't know for sure but anyway the question is what was your favorite sport you know that's why I played three sports in high school and during football football was my favorite sport and during basketball I couldn't wait for basketball to start and get into that and then during baseball I love playing baseball so some of these people that play one sport I don't know if I would have been able to do it I think I would have got bored or burnt out if I just would have focused on one sport there are some real benefits from being involved and you hear that all the time I want to talk a little bit about that you know people or students that are involved in sports what's the benefit well I'm just I'm not just talking about multi sports multi sports to me I think I look back and as you mentioned I mean honestly growing up I was on varsity my sophomore year in baseball and basketball some people I think now I'll look at that and say well it ends up I ended up playing division one college football so me I mean you just have I think it makes a lot of sense to keep your options open I also think the different sports require different skills I think by playing multiple sports you're a more well rounded better overall athlete which is going to help you in whatever sport you choose academic advantages academically keeps your time structured I mean I think that's huge in terms of people think well since you have practice every day you're going to do a poor job academically and I actually think the worst thing for kids or students whether they're in high school or college is free time if you have too much free time you're going to waste a lot of time and I think the structure of athletics actually helps kids academically it helps them structure and organize their day they know I have practice after school and then I have to do my homework whereas those kids that don't have any practice they're saying well I can do my homework later I don't have to do it now well then later comes and they don't want to do it then either so I think there's unbelievable benefits I could go on for probably an hour about this they're just all over sports are so beneficial in so many ways the mansion Mitchell Martinez grounded out the first base and the first baseman Mitch Greaton making a nice play over there good hustle by that young man and now hitting for the Red Wings is not Gooyeers but A.J. Gooyeers is that a brother probably that is him that's the same guy Aaron that's A.J. okay the wrong number written down for him I got him as number 2 but he's really number 12 yes he is well he's been functioning the whole game with that mistake only a veteran like yourself could pull it off see what happens when Wright's not here to help you he's helped me out I'm serious he's helped me out plenty over the years crazy roller Guterres is out on a 3 unassisted and that takes us to the top of the order Tyler Zeetz Zeetz is a 1 for 2 of the double he's scored a run he also has a stolen base and went 5 strong innings on the mound mentioned he had 7 strikeouts in his 5 innings and one of the things that you weren't here I was looking at his stat line for pitching and he gave up 19 hits in only 14 innings which is really pretty much this outing only 2 hits in 5 innings so that was much better for him and now he's got his second hit of the night as I mentioned earlier I really didn't get a chance to see him pitch because he hasn't pitched at home this year much most of his starts have been on the low I was really impressed with him today and it's hard for those kids you know a lot of their tough weather so it's good to see him kind of get into a groove today and hopefully he can carry that through the rest of the season Ethan Bartles on the mound for the Wildcats Raph takes that first pitch high for a ball Zeetz on first there's 2 outs line drive to right right fielder comes in makes a nice play that was and we're at the end of 6 we're getting to the end of the game Chris hopefully we can close the deal here this half inning you are the man after 6 and a half innings of play 6-1 south I hope we're not bringing an axe it's not over Japan still needs our help this is not yesterday's news it's happening now this is Japan now let's help some risks are obviously not worth taking watch where you're going some aren't as obvious but could be just as deadly like the risk for type 2 diabetes especially if you're over 45 or overweight take the diabetes risk test it's free and takes less than a minute type 2 diabetes is one risk you can't afford to take so stop diabetes before it stops you back at the wildwood park we're getting ready to start the 7th inning south on top west is hung in there pretty good I know they came into tonight's game 0-8 and they didn't coaches tell me they don't have enough pitching so they didn't schedule too many non-conference games give them credit because they're hanging in there competing they are there they're playing well I think any player with a bat in his hand and any pitcher with a ball in his hand is dangerous you just never know it's like you said before with your Chilton team that made a run Kowaskam team in the 90s won 4 or 3 or 4 games during the year and ended up going to state anything can happen Nick Gretzen is going to lead off the top of the 7th to 2 grounded the 2nd is last time up AJ Aaron Gutierrez is on the mound for south entering his 2nd inning of work deep short Zeitz with the long throw and Gretzen is safe I thought he had him but I'll call him safe and I couldn't see that actually I'm right in line with the base and the pole also so we'll give that one to base umpire dan schmitz and Mitch Gretzen he made a couple of nice plays in the field and also has a hit to his credit he's 1 for 2 south has not hit the ball in that game at southwest that they won the other night 3 to 2 they only had 5 hits they're sitting with 6 tonight and they've got some really hot hitters but I'd like to see him maybe hit a little bit more yeah I think you know high school baseball morning I think comes down to defense and pitching I mean at every level it does you're right the hits are the things that they had snap throw by raft but hits are something that's going to be there some days and not be there other days but defense should be there every day and things are going to be there every day you know guys I don't care if they're major league baseball players or if they're high school players they're going to hit slumps they're going to go into slumps so usually you don't go into fielding slumps like you said or if you're a fast runner you don't go into a running slump right but I'm sure they'd all like to improve their batting averages and stuff like that but it's good that the bats haven't peaked that they're still have a winning record and are having a nice season at the ball was fall in the bullpen area down the first base line Todd Stuffergrin behind home plate we mentioned Dan Schmitz out on the bases our umpires tonight doing a good job we got a little work but a bit of an early start knowing the weather was going to be rough and we've had the steady win not enough to have to call the game the field has stood up which is a good thing and we're going to get this ball game in I've really been impressed with the field it looks like the city's done a nice job and it's held up pretty good hot shot to second second for the first out and back to first for the second out and that's a double play and now we're down to the last out of the ball game good play by Huffman over to Zeitz really nice turn for those kids and a good stretch by Tanner at first Nick Borstett had a high throw early in the game was a two base throwing error and made the comment if you get it over Recolitis he said you know it was a high throw yeah absolutely he's uh what you want at first base a nice tall first baseman John Day the Wildcat catchers Days had a tough game at the bat he's over two with a couple of strikeouts but again that was facing Tyler Zeitz pitches outside it's one and one we definitely don't want to give any free passes here so hopefully AJ can now when you go over to that soccer game tonight are you going to stand outside the whole time or are you going to sit and watch in your car I will definitely be standing outside I'm not going to say that I won't be under the canopy of the concession stand but I'll definitely be outside no I will not be in my car you heard it here first people you might find me under the concession stand can't up you I will say that do they draw pretty good codes for the soccer games yeah they do I think if we got some nice weather it would help I mean we really I hear you we unfortunately haven't had good weather for one of our home soccer games yet go on ball to third almonds and throw over to Recolitis is in time is our ball game Sheboygan South wins it by a score of 6 to 1 South had 6 runs 6 hits and no errors West had 1 run 4 hits and I believe they had 2 errors South had an error too but anyway South the winner that improves the record to a 10 and 3 on the year 6 and 2 conference and I want to thank Chris Hine
