The Denmark High School baseball team brought home the gold last night.
The Vikings edged Jefferson 6-5 in the WIAA Division-2 state championship game at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute.
Hayden Konkol drove in the winning run in the home half of the 7th with an RBI double to score Abe Kapinos, who had started the rally with a one-out single.
Lucas Miller earned the victory in relief.
Coach Bill Miller’s squad ends the season as state champions with a record of 28 and 3.
In the Division-1 Finale yesterday afternoon, Milton scored 6 runs in the first inning and cruised past Bay Port 11-1.
It ended quite a run for the #8 Pirates who had upset top-seeded Sun Prairie in the quarterfinals and 4-seed Menomonee Falls in the semis.
The Red Hawks of Milton were also a surprise team in the tournament having entered play with the 6th seed in the Division-1 field.
