Campbellsport 19U Legion Baseball Returns to State Tournament

On July 26, Campbellsport 19U Legion Baseball beat Springs/Fondy 2-0 to win the Regional 4 Championship and will return to the Class A American Legion Baseball Tournament to defend last season’s state championship.
Campbellsport (15-7) scored the first run of the game in the third inning when Trent Schaldweiler hit an RBI double to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead over Springs/Fondy.
Levi Bentz scored the second run of the game in the fifth inning to increase Campbellsport’s lead to 2-0.
The two-run lead was all starting pitcher Braden Bothe would need to get the win by limiting Springs to two hits and striking out 11 batters to secure a 2-0 Regional Championship win.

“Solid pitching with two shutouts and defense committing only one error were keys in this weekend’s Regional Tournament,” said Head Coach Gary Goebel. “Timely hitting with contributions all through the lineup made it possible to score the runs needed to secure the wins.”
Campbellsport Legion is in its fifth season, with this being the fourth time the program has advanced to the State Tournament in those five years.
“We had six players (Owen Bong, Braden Bothe, Jace Goebel, Brody Nolan, Ben Sabish and Trent Schladweiler) who have played all five seasons since the program’s inception,” said Goebel.
Campbellsport will play their first round game on July 31 at 4 p.m. against Little Chute/Bonduel in Prairie du Chien.
The Cougars’ second game will be on August 1 with game TBA, and the state tournament will conclude with the championship game on August 4.
