The South Milwaukee Little League Intermediate All Stars run at Regionals ended with a 7-6 loss to the Minnesota State Champions on the 4th day of the regional tournament in Kalamazoo, MI. In the true spirit of Little League, the team left with their heads held high…

As most of you know Coach Galewski is still very involved with SMLL. He and his staff hold our annual coaches clinic to impart his approach to coaching at the youth level. If you see coach please congratulate him on his 400th win as the SMHS baseball coach. Here is the jsonline write-up:

South Milwaukee baseball coach John Galewski notches 400th career win

By Dave Boehler, Special to the Journal Sentinel July 7,2014

South Milwaukee baseball coach John Galewski thought his team didn’t know he was one victory shy of No. 400 in his career.

“I was hoping they didn’t because we’re chasing a conference championship,” Galewski said. “I know they know about that, so that’s more important.”

It looked like the Rockets were unaware after their 4-0 victory over Shorewood behind pitcher Matt McCarty’s two-hitter on Monday at Henry Aaron Field.

There were the usual handshakes, but nothing out of the ordinary.

“Yeah, we all knew,” McCarty said. “We talked about it on the bus on the way here and maybe doing something if we got the win.”

So, as Galewski was being interviewed near his dugout, two players dumped the Gatorade bucket on their unsuspecting coach.

“It’s a real honor to play for him,” said South Milwaukee’s Anthony Marlowe, who had two brothers and a cousin compete in the program.

Only 14 coaches in summer baseball have more victories than Galewski (400-388), who is in his 27th season.
“It’s really about the history of the kids that have gone through the program,” Galewski said. “My son played for me. There’s some emotion there.”

Added McCarty: “It’s so awesome to know I could give my coach his 400th win. It’s a great achievement for him and the program.”

During Galewski’s tenure, however, the only conference championship South Milwaukee won was the Southeast crown in 2000.

A four-run first inning Monday kept the Rockets in position to change that.

South Milwaukee and Greenfield are 10-6 atop the East Division of the Woodland Conference with two games remaining.

The 16-9 Rockets host Shorewood on Tuesday and resume a suspended game with Wauwatosa West on Wednesday. The Trojans hold a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning.

South Milwaukee, which won for just the second time in its last six games, sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the first.

With runners on first and second, J.P. Saskowski attempted a sacrifice bunt that turned into a single. That’s because pitcher Alec Nelson dove to try to catch the bunt but came up short and was unable to throw anyone out.

A wild pitch allowed Ben Zbikowski to score from third for a 1-0 lead.

After a ground out by Zach Simuncak, McCarty hit a ground ball that bounced over the glove of first baseman Bryan Frieseke and allowed two more runs to score.

“I was actually looking for a curveball because it was a full count and he had a pretty nice curveball,” McCarty said. “I was sitting on a curveball and he threw me a fastball. I just drove it the other way and got the runs in.”

A sacrifice bunt by Scott Plachinski was followed by a single to center field by Marlowe for a 4-0 lead.

“I knew that coach wanted to get someone in scoring position for me,” Marlowe said.

McCarty, who also threw a two-hitter on July 1 in a 2-0 victory over Greenfield, gave up two singles in the fourth. The bases were loaded with one out, but the pitcher got out of the frame unscathed.

“That was a huge opportunity that we just came away with nothing on,” Shorewood first-year coach Josh Lemke said. “Our morale stayed pretty high through the game, but that really took a chunk out of it.”
