Next up is the Division 1 final between De Pere (26-3) and Sun Prairie (27-4).
Another run for Edgewood and it's Mosinee's last chance

Mosinee picks up a run in the fifth; Edgewood leads 11-4
Taylor Lemanski hit a one-out solo home run for Mosinee in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Edgewood breaks game open with seven-run fifth inning to make it 11-3

Edgewood takes a 4-3 lead over Mosinee with two-run fourth inning
After Jack Halloran hit a one-out single and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Bennett Cagle walked and Preston Yaucher singled to left field, scoring Halloran.

Edgewood baseball scores pair of runs in third inning
Edgewood is on the board in the third inning.
The Crusaders got two players in scoring position without even recording a hit. Bennett Cagle drew a walk to get things started. After the first out, Seth Myers was then hit by a pitch. Down by three runs, Edgewood showed it will be aggressive on the basepaths. Cagle and Myers recorded a double steal. Now with two outs after a strikeout, Henry Bishop walked to load the bases.
That brought up Davis Halbleig, whose single to left center scored both Myers and Cagle.
Walks can typically come back to haunt teams and in this case it did for Mosinee.
Mosinee's lead is 3-2 heading to the fourth inning.
Mosinee takes early lead in Division 2 state baseball game

Gavin Obremski then socked a two-run home run to right field. Just like that Mosinee had a 3-0 lead.
FINAL: Aquinas wins D3 title 6-4
After finishing as the runners up in 2023, Aquinas is the WIAA D3 state champion. KSJ got the tying run to the plate with one out, but despite chasing Blugolds starter Tanner Peterson on a pitch count with two outs, were unable to keep the game alive. It is the third program title for Aquinas baseball (2007, 2017).
Bot 6 - KSJ enters seventh chasing three runs
The Lancers got two aboard on singles by Zach Rizzo and pinch-hitter Patrick Davidson with one out in the top of the sixth, but were unable to get a run across. In the bottom of the inning, a leadoff Jonny Deets triple came around to score two batters later on a Kole Keppel RBI single off the glove of a leaping KSJ shortstop.
The score sits at 6-3 Aquinas with three outs for KSJ to push three across. The top of the order is due up.
Bot 5 - Solo blast by Peters doubles Aquinas lead
On a full count with two outs, Blugolds three-hole hitter Eddie Peters unloaded on a Dylan Love pitch for a solo home run to left center. Tanner Peterson followed with a double over the head of KSJ center fielder Eric Kenesie, but Love got out of the inning with no more damage two batters later. Aquinas leads 5-3 after five complete.
Top 5 - KSJ earns two back on three wild pitches
After KSJ got the first two aboard on a strikeout with a wild pitch and a walk, Dominic Rinaldi came around from second to score on a second wild pitch. Aquinas catcher Jacob Thornton and pitcher Tanner Peterson were a bit slow on the coverage of home to allow Rinaldi and trail runner Tim Falk to each take two bases. Three batters later, another wild pitch allowed Falk to score from third. For the inning, KSJ got two runs on a walk, an error and no hits. Aquinas holds a 4-3 lead entering the bottom of the fifth.
End 4 - Aquinas takes lead after pitching change
Aquinas jumped on new KSJ pitcher Dylan Love to the tune of four runs to take the Lead. The first came on an RBI base hit by Jacob Thornton, then Jonny Deets reached on a fielder's choice to get a second run across, and Kyle White doubled home two more to stretch the lead to 4-1. Three runs were charged to KSJ starter Tommy Santarelli, who was pulled with one out and the bases loaded.
Bot 4 - Pitcher's duel continues, but KSJ changes pitchers
With one out in the bottom of the fourth, KSJ holds their 1-0 lead. Aquinas' Peterson has 51 pitches through four complete. He has allowed just the one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out four. Santarelli ran into a little trouble with the bases loaded and one out for the Lancers, causing KSJ to go to the pen. Dylan Love is now in to pitch in the bottom of the fourth, inheriting the jam. Peter Visconti moves to catcher as part of the same switch.
Bot 2 - Hit and run miscue results in rally-killing double play for Aquinas
A leadoff single for Aquinas' Tanner Peterson looked to provide a promising start to the inning for the Blugolds, but the inning ended two batters later. A popout to short and an apparent hit-and-run attempt resulted in a double play to end the inning, as Jacob Thornton lined to KSJ second baseman Kole Janis. With Peterson caught between the bags, the Lancers got out of the inning while maintaining their 1-0 lead. Through two innings, Peterson has 29 pitches and Tommy Santarelli has 31.
Top 1 - KSJ turns leadoff triple into early lead
Eric Kenesie laced a triple to right center to lead off the game for the Lancers, as Peter Viconti drove him home on an RBI groundout up the middle to follow. Lancers were retired in order after the triple, giving KSJ a 1-0 lead entering the bottom of the first.
