Alexandria hosted Sauk Rapids Thursday in a CLC matchup. Alex was able to come away with two wins on Senior Night. The first game was back and forth but the Cardinals were able to come back and win by a score of 15-11. In the second game Alexandria was able to put up 12 runs in the top of the first to cruise to a 17-1 victory.

The Cardinals went up 5-0 in game one, but gave up 11 runs in the top half of the fifth. Alex responded with 7 runs in the bottom of the inning and added three more in the 6th to secure the win. Emily Harris got the start and Jordan O’Kane came in to get the win in relief. Harris, Loch, O’Kane, Josie Steidl, Porter, and Johnson all collected hits.

Alex was the away team in game two and got off to a great start collecting 17 runs on 13 hits. Steidl got the start and picked up the win allowing 4 hits in 4 innings of work. Hitting was led by Harris, Loch, Heid, Steidl, Paige Habberstad, Emma Magaard, and Porter.

Highlights included the Cardinals coming back in game one after giving up 11 runs in one inning and holding on to the lead once we regained it. Emily Harris also had two home runs in game two, the second landing in the pond in left and the ball having to be retrieved by a yellow lab by the name of Nala. Biggest highlight was the celebration of our six seniors who are Paige Habberstad, Emma Magaard, Maci Tilleskjor, Josie Steidl, Emily Harris, and Maddie Magnuson.
