In a crucial matchup that marked the end of the regular season, the Scandinavia Vikings team secured their spot in the playoffs with a commanding 8-1 victory over Weymont in the Badger Amateur Baseball Association Central Division. The game, held on August 4th, showcased a stellar performance from both Scandy’s offense and pitching staff, setting the stage for an exciting playoff run starting next weekend.

Ben Lee earned the win for Scandy, delivering an impressive performance on the mound. Lee effectively contained the Weymont hitters, allowing only one run and a few hits throughout his innings of work. On the other side, Dutch Nickel of Weymont took the loss, struggling against the relentless Scandy batters.

The Vikings’ offense was led by Logan Moe, who went 1-for-2 with a triple, driving in two runs and scoring twice. Moe’s pivotal hits and aggressive base running provided the early momentum for Scandy. Gus Turner-Zick and Sterling Lutz each contributed with solid 2-for-4 performances, both hitting doubles to keep the pressure on Weymont’s defense.

Weymont’s hitters had a tough time against Lee, but Hayden Timm managed to go 2-for-4 with a double, scoring Weymont’s only run. Parker Groskrutz and Collin Jorgensen added to Weymont’s tally with a hit each, but it was not enough to mount a comeback.

With this win, Scandy finishes the regular season on a high note, clinching their playoff berth and heading into the postseason with momentum. Fans can look forward to seeing them in action as the playoffs commence this weekend, where the Vikings will aim to carry their winning form forward and defeat Winneconne.
