Overview
- Pewaukee defeated Kenosha St. Joseph 5-4 at Fox Cities Stadium on Friday after Jack Tabbert delivered a two-run, go-ahead single in the bottom of the fifth.
- The Pirates carried a 26-game winning streak into the final and finished the year 30-2, marking the program's first WIAA baseball championship.
- Junior reliever Max Metz, promoted from JV late in the season, pitched the final three innings in relief and recorded the final out to secure the win.
- A potential Kenosha rally was blunted when catcher Hudson Bremberger threw out Dominic Santarelli trying to steal second in the seventh and Zach Rizzo’s two-run homer came one out too late.
- Co-head coach Adam Dobberstein reached the title after more than 500 career wins, the team is planning a victory parade, and the championship highlights Pewaukee’s recent run of deep postseason appearances and growing community pride.
