NRHEG pounds previously unbeaten Randolph, 16-6


Close, so close.

It was the story for the NRHEG baseball team — until last week.

The previously winless Panthers broke out in a big way, winning three of four games to suddenly improve to a 3-6 season record. NRHEG defeated WEM 4-3, Randolph 16-6 and Maple River 6-3 while being edged 2-1 by Mankato Loyola.


WEM

NRHEG got its first win of the year in a good nine-inning game Monday.

Trevor Tracy pitched seven strong innings and Matt Jensen pitched two scoreless innings in relief to pick up the win.

Softball Panthers go 4-0, knocking off Blooming Prairie, Maple River


It wasn’t a very good week for the NRHEG softball team.

It was a great one.

The Panthers chalked up four victories last week, topping WEM 4-0, Bethlehem Academy 7-2, Blooming Prairie 11-5 and Maple River 3-0. Coach Wendy Schultz’s squad improved to 9-3 overall and 6-1 in the Gopher Conference.


WEM

The Panthers won rather handily at Legion Field Monday.

“The girls played good defense,” said Coach Schultz. “Offensively, we hit fairly well but unfortunately stranded a lot of baserunners.”

With its strongest week yet this season and a lower-than-average week from the previous first-place squad from Edina, the NRHEG clay target team was able to launch itself into the top spot in the conference last week.

The team was led by perfect 25 performances from Kyle Bartz and Sam Bartz of Waseca and Carter Suchanek from New Richland. For Kyle, it was his second 25 of the season.
