In a decisive Week 9 matchup of the Badger Amateur Baseball Association’s Central Division, Scandinavia crushed Winneconne 11-1 in just seven innings. The game, played on June 23, saw Scandinavia’s offense firing on all cylinders, while their pitcher Ben Lee delivered a standout performance on the mound.

The Vikings set the tone early with a powerful display of hitting. Braden Hunkins was the star of the game, going 3-for-3, including a home run, and driving in five RBIs. His performance at the plate was instrumental in building an insurmountable lead for Scandinavia.

Landon Moe also contributed significantly, going 2-for-3 with an RBI, while RJ Rosenthal added to the tally with a hit in three at-bats. Their combined efforts put consistent pressure on Winneconne’s pitching staff.

On the other side, Winneconne struggled to find any rhythm against Scandinavia’s ace Ben Lee. Lee pitched masterfully, keeping the Winneconne hitters off balance throughout the game. Nick Kurland and Tom Butt managed the only hits for Winneconne, each going 1-for-3, but they were unable to spark a rally against Lee’s dominance.

Jaden Peppler, who took the loss for Winneconne, faced difficulty containing Scandinavia’s potent lineup. Despite his efforts, the game was called after seven innings due to the 10-run mercy rule, underscoring the Vikings’ overwhelming performance.

This victory solidifies Scandinavia’s standing in the Central Division as they look to maintain their momentum in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Winneconne will need to regroup and adjust as they prepare for their next matchup, hoping to bounce back from this heavy defeat.
