Jeanne Hawkinson knew one thing and one thing only heading into the Rum River conference girls golf tourney last Friday- the Wildcats needed to win at least one nine-hole round to clinch at least a share of the conference title.
Who would’ve thunk it?The game where the Wildcats officially wrap up the conference title, they do so by knocking out three runs on two hits. Yes, two hits. And who would’ve thunk it, both hits were home runs.
The Vikings certainly enjoyed returning to North Branch as pinch runner Eric Frich scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning and the Vikings held on for a 4-3 victory over the St. Michael-Albertville Knights Tuesday, May 10, at Albertville.
After losing to Princeton by 27 strokes at the Milaca Invite, just 24 hours later at home, the Wildcats got their full line-up back and exacted some revenge by defeating the Tigers 198-213.
Blame it on the bus ride.After taking the long trip to Foley last Thursday, the Vikings walked off the bus flat and never recovered, falling to the Falcons 10-0 in five innings.
