Pulaski Dethrones Shawano to Take First North Division Title
Pulaski ended Shawano's reign as two-time defending league champions and
claimed the Fox River Valley American Legion League's North Division
championship with a 7-4 victory on July 21 in Pulaski.
The division title is Pulaski's first in league
records dating to 1991. Its 10-4 record also marks the fewest losses the
team has had during that span. Pulaski will play for the American
Conference championship on Friday at East Division champion De Pere at
5:30 p.m. The winner will play for the league title on Monday.
Pulaski not only needed a victory over the
defending champs, but got big help from Seymour, which beat Shawano 10-6
on Tuesday and Kaukauna 16-12 on Wednesday to clear the way. Pulaski and
Shawano tied for the title, but Pulaski won both season meetings. If
Kaukauna had beaten Seymour to force a three-way tie, Kaukauna would have
won the division based on head-to-head tiebreakers.
Pulaski scored in every inning on Wednesday and
got a complete game pitching performance from Brent Belaire, who struck
out six and walked two while scattering five hits. Drew Basten was
three-for-four and Rob VandenLangenberg was two-for-two as Pulaski
recorded 10 hits. |
