Milwaukee Area High School Baseball Rankings Shake-Up: Slinger Climbs to No. 1!
Hey baseball fans! Exciting news is making the rounds in the Milwaukee area high school baseball scene. Slick and swift, the baseball rankings have shifted dramatically this week, and it’s time to spill the beans! Slinger has zoomed up to take the coveted No. 1 spot, while the Pewaukee Pirates have fallen from grace after a tough week on the diamond.
Slinger Rises with a Perfect Week
When we look at the performance of Slinger, it’s hard not to be impressed! The team pulled off a fantastic 3-0 record last week, notching wins against Port Washington, Grafton, and Cedarburg. With each game, they showcased their determination and skill, and this surge has put them right at the top of the leaderboard. They will now face a challenging six-game road trip scheduled from May 12 to May 19. Will they maintain their winning streak? Only time will tell!
Pewaukee Pirates Slip Down
On the flip side, we have the Pewaukee Pirates, who had a week that felt like a rollercoaster ride, dropping to the No. 2 spot after a 1-2 record. Their struggles were evident, especially after a tough two-game series against New Berlin Eisenhower. Those games didn’t go well for them at all, showcasing just four total hits during both matches combined. The slip might be a wake-up call for the Pirates as they prepare for some crucial upcoming matches.
New Berlin Eisenhower: Team of the Week
If there’s a team that loved this week, it’s New Berlin Eisenhower, affectionately known as Ike. They pulled off a magnificent two-game sweep against Pewaukee and are labeled the “team of the week”. They dominated the first game with a 4-0 victory, where pitcher Cal Schneider tossed six shutout innings and struck out nine players. What a performance! Their second game showcased yet another display of pitching prowess, with Sam Hirthe nearly tossing a no-hitter, allowing just one hit over 6⅔ innings while striking out seven. Impressive, right?
Upcoming Challenges for Eisenhower and Pewaukee
Looking ahead, New Berlin Eisenhower holds the top spot in the Woodland West Conference with an undefeated record of 8-0. They have some exciting matchups lined up, including games against Greendale and a home game against Mukwonago. On the flip side, Pewaukee has a crucial face-off against Wisconsin Lutheran set for May 14 at 4:45 p.m., an essential game that will test their mettle.
