In this May 14, 2024 file photo, Rhinelander’s Kaden Vanney attempts to tag Tomahawk’s Drew Tollefson at the plate in the seventh inning of a GNC baseball game at Stafford Field Tuesday, May 14. Rhinelander struggled to a 1-19 record this spring and was particularly snake-bit in close games, going 1-7 in games in which it led, tied or was down by one run at some point during or after the fifth inning.
