Horicon Rolls Past Oostburg in Opening Round of Regional Play

Entering the tournament as the No. 3 seed, Horicon showcased its depth at the plate and steady execution in the field against the No. 14-seeded Dutchmen. Oostburg managed to strike first with a run in the opening inning, but the early lead was short-lived as Horicon’s offense responded immediately.

The Marshmen plated multiple runs over the next few innings, capitalizing on timely hitting and aggressive baserunning to flip the momentum. By the middle frames, Horicon had built a commanding advantage, keeping constant pressure on Oostburg’s defense and forcing mistakes that extended innings.

On the mound, Horicon pitching settled in after the first inning, limiting Oostburg’s scoring chances and allowing the defense to work efficiently behind it. The combination of run support and solid pitching paved the way for an early finish.

Horicon 11, Oostburg 1

Tournament Program / What’s Next

With the regional victory, Horicon advances to the next round of the WIAA Division 3 Baseball Tournament, where competition will intensify against higher-seeded opponents also riding postseason momentum. The win not only keeps Horicon’s playoff run alive but also reinforces the team’s balanced approach as it looks to make a deeper push in the tournament.

Horicon’s ability to respond after conceding the first run set the tone for the game, and if that resilience continues, the Marshmen could prove to be a tough out as regional play moves forward.
