The Challengers scored early and didn't let the Wil Devils get into the game at any point, cruising to an easy 8-1 win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Reyes prepares himself to take a ground ball.
Robert Sedin and Tobias Siegrist both went 2-for-4, while Eidrys Reyes had a game-high 3 hits, and both Thomas Blank and Bryan Shemley led all Challengers with 2 RBIs apiece.
Staked to a 6-0 lead after three innings, Burger ran into trouble only once as he gave up Ursin Simeon's RBI-single for the Devils' first and only run.
Harry Bregy relieved Burger in the top of the sixth and threw three scoreless innings, and Siegrist closed it out with a perfect 1-2-3 ninth.
