 WLB, the #3 seed, took on the #2 seed Carroll Catholic/New
Holland-Middletown/Zion Lutheran Schools and lost 3-2.
Carroll's Trent Koehler threw a solid six innings of work picking up
the win on the mound with Dylan Singleton earning the one-inning
save.
Sam Gleason took the hard-luck loss on the mound for the Wolverines
in relief of starter Lucas Konczyk who had to be removed from the
mound due to an injury. Konczyk, who was hit by a pitch in the right
wrist in the first inning, got through the first two innings without
giving up a run. However, his wrist began to stiffen, and Gleason
was forced into action.
 Konczyk's pitching line went two innings giving up two hits while
striking out three. Gleason pitched four innings giving up three
runs, all earned, on five hits, two walks, and four strikeouts.
Offensively, Jacob Langley had two hits on the day while Patrick
McCraith, Konczyk, Gleason, and Drew Eimer each had one hit each.
Eimer also had a sacrifice and RBI. McCraith and Konczyk each scored
the Wolverine runs.

reached on an error and scored on a balk.
Carroll scored two runs in the bottom half of the third inning on a
walk, two singles, and a sacrifice fly. Carroll added another run in
their half of the fifth inning on a RBI single by Helton.
The Wolverines added a run in the top of the sixth inning on a RBI
single by Eimer scoring Konczyk. Singleton set the Wolverines down
in order in the top of the seventh to seal the victory.
WLB will be back on the field on Wednesday, September 7 against
Springfield Christian at home at 4:00 pm.
