There, they met a familiar foe in the Appleton Legends. Jimmy Juergensen hit a 3-run walk-off home run to give the A’s a 4-1 victory to advance to the tournament championship against another familiar foe, the Kewaskum A’s. Juergenen’s second home run of the day helped propel the A’s to a 7-4 victory and championship.
