Brad Breaker hit a two-run line drive to center field to break a 0-0 tie with Plover in the sixth inning of the Badger Amateur Baseball Association grand championship game Sunday, setting up the 2-0 win for the Tigers’ third league title.
Dylan Berg singled, Jon Berg was hit by a pitch and Paul Sellner bunted the runners over to start the inning and set up Breaker.
Tigerton’s Sellner and Plover’s Howie Heinrich kept batters at bay through the first five innings. Both went the distance, with Sellner getting the win and the game’s most valuable player award. He allowed seven hits, walked two and struck out two. Heinrich struck out six, walked one and hit another while allowing two runs on seven hits.
Plover put runners on the corners in the fourth on singles by Eric Fritz and Eric Flowerette, but Derek Lemens grounded out to first to end the inning.
Tigerton’s defense had double plays to end both the seventh and eighth innings.
Erik Kroening and Dylan Berg each had two hits for the Tigers. Breaker was 1 for 4 with two RBIs. Eric Gendusa and Brandon Sivertson each added a hit.
Fritz was 2 for 4 to lead Plover. Heinrich, Bill Held, John Jazenosky, Flowerette and Bryan Brom each had hits.
