Green Bay Southwest Takes South Division Title

     Green Bay Southwest gained its second South Division title in three years and claimed the league's final playoff spot after Neenah knocked off Appleton Legion 8-5 on July 22 in Neenah.
     Southwest also beat Appleton Legion the previous day 4-2 to put itself in position for the title with a 10-4 record. Paul Rotherham and Jason Frazier were each two-for-three and Jeff Zimpel pitched a complete game in that victory.
     However, Appleton Legion still held the tiebreaker over Southwest because of fewer runs allowed in league games. Neenah gave Southwest the outright title and a berth in the playoffs with its 8-5 victory as Ben Ihde was three-for-three with a pair of doubles and Josh Little pitched a complete game with seven strikeouts and no walks. Neenah jumped out to an 8-1 lead after four innings and held off Appleton's rally for the win.
     Southwest will play on Friday at West Division champion Hortonville at 5:30 p.m. for the National Conference title. The winner advances to the league final on Monday. Southwest won its only other division title in 2002 and finished as league runner-up.
