As an already short season was made shorter by weather and COVID-19, the boys are playing a flurry of baseball games before playoffs.
Coming off a win the day before, the Vikings found themselves on the wrong end of the score on Friday, May 7, beat by their friendly rivals to the west, the Silver Bay Mariners.
After a scoreless first inning the Mariners put up two to one in the second. Neither team could generate any offense over the next two innings and the Vikings trailed 2-1 going into the fifth. The Mariners scored one run to make it 3-1 and the Vikings were most certainly in the hunt going into the sixth. However, the Mariner bats came alive, and the kids form Silver Bay scored five runs. The Vikings wouldn’t score again until the seventh inning and ended up losing 8-2.
Patrick Pierre went five innings, giving up eight hits and three runs. Patrick also had seven strikeouts. Isaac Sandstrom pitched the sixth, giving up five runs on five hits and Tate Crawford came in and didn’t give up a run or a hit in the seventh.
During the sixth inning Jake Stadler, Ryder McMillan, Ero Wallin and Jacob Carpenter all had RBI’s
The Mariner’s Ryan Bilben had the most fielding chances with 12. Ryder McMillan led Silver Bay’s offense by going three for four at the plate.
Jacob Carpenter picked up the win for the Mariners. He threw six innings allowing three hits, one walk and one run while striking out four.
Silver Bay ended up with 13 hits to five for the Vikings. Patrick Pierre, Kole Anderson, Tate Crawford, Hunter Gomez, and Ray Dressely each got a hit for the Vikings. The usually sure handed Vikings had three errors in the game while the Mariners didn’t have any errors.
