WISCONSIN RAPIDS – The Appleton Doubledays Legion baseball team won three of four games at the three-day Wisconsin Rapids Legion Tournament, which was held at Lincoln High School from Friday through Sunday.

Appleton defeated Kaukauna 4-2 in nine innings on Friday, split two games with a 6-5 win over Stevens Point and a 10-2 loss to Marshfield on Saturday, and wrapped up the tournament with a 19-8 victory over Neenah to even its season record at 3-3.

Oscar Crownhart had a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning to bust open the game against Kaukauna, and Appleton’s hot hitting continued throughout the weekend.

Luke Beyer threw a complete game for the Doubledays against Stevens Point, striking out three. Mason Winkler had two hits and Sean Steger drove in two in the victory.

A nine-run seventh inning broke open the game against Neenah as Appleton finished with 16 hits, including three by Zander Martin, and two each from Beyer, Jameson Sieg, Caden Lauder and Ethan Winkler.
