Southwest, Shawano Claim One-Run Victories in League Playoff Semifinals
Green Bay Southwest and Shawano both posted
one-run victories Wednesday night in the semifinals of the Fox
River Valley American Legion League playoffs and will square off
Thursday night for the league's championship.
Top-seeded Southwest used a two-hit shutout from Phil
Glinski to end the Appleton Rebels' 26-game winning streak with a 1-0 win
at Green Bay. Glinski drove in the game's only run with a fifth inning
sacrifice fly as Southwest beat the Class AAA state champions for the
third time this season among their five overall losses.
No. 2 seed Shawano scored two runs in the bottom
of the seventh to pull out a dramatic 3-2 victory over West Division
champion Waupaca in Shawano. Brandon Emmel drove home Nate Ejnik with the
winning run for Shawano, which was fresh off Tuesday's victory in the
Class AA state title game.
Southwest will have a chance to beat two state
championship teams on back-to-back nights when it hosts Shawano Thursday
night at 7:30 p.m. at Green Bay Southwest High School. Both teams are
looking for their first-ever Fox River Valley League titles.
