A’s fight back, but lose at Appleton
Posted: July 13, 2017
APPLETON, WI- For the second straight game, the Sheboygan A’s got off to a bad start, but this time they got back in the game, only to lose when Courtney Watkins doubled in two runs to give the Appleton Legends an 8-7 win.
Appleton took a 6-0 lead after three innings, but some good at-bats by Adam Ryan and Jake Arens closed the gap to 6-2. Then the A’s took advantage of walks, hit batsmen and big hits by Harry Steldt and Chris Saltzman to score five runs and take a 7-6 lead.
However, this lead was short-lived as the Legends and Watkins delivered in the next inning, taking the lead back and ultimately taking the victory.
Now with a 19-12 record, the A’s host Green Bay tonight and then on Friday and Saturday host a Wisconsin Amateur Baseball Classic quarterfinal. The schedule for the tournament is as follows:
