The Cardinals scored all 4 of their runs in the 3rd on walks and wild pitches.  The Otters struck right back adding a run in the 3rd on a 1 out Frank Schierer single, he came around to score on a wild pitch.  Four more runs came across in the 4th, Hayden Heruth, K. Johnson, and Jenc set the table with 3 straight walks followed by a bases clearing double by Felstul.  He came across to score the final run on some heady base running.  Kade pitched a masterful 3 frames of shutout baseball to close out the game and pick up his teammates.   Chase Johnston continued his strong play behind the plate knocking down everything that crossed the plate.  The final score was 11-4 but felt much closer than the score showed. 

The Otters again struck 1st in game 2 with walks by Noon and Moline who both scored on wild pitches.  The final four runs scored for the Otters came across in the 2nd with 5 walks (Felstul, Johnston, Schierer, O. Johnson, and C. Johnson) with some heads up base-running.   Game two Featured more strong pitching, Isaac Jenc pitched 2 innings yielding 1 run on a walk and a wild pitch.  Proudfoot came in the 3rd and was met by two hard hit balls, a double and a HR drew the Cardinals within 3.  Proudfoot showed great poise with excellent control in mowing down the rest of the Cardinals in order.  Owen Johnson came in and pitched a very efficient 2 innings of 1 run ball to bring the team to a 6-4 victory.  Owen snared an impressive self-defense web gem in the 4th, snagging a wicked liner back up the middle.

The Otters fought hard all the way and earned 2 more victories.  They will hope to keep things rolling as they play their 1st tournament of the year up in Fargo this weekend. 

Leading hitters for the game were Jenc 2 (2b,1b), Moline 2, Felstul 1 (2b), Schierer 1, Proudfoot 1.
