The Alexandria baseball team dropped a game to Willmar on Tuesday night in Willmar, losing by the score of 4-1. “We outhit our opponent but, timely hitting by the wrong Cardinals and too many free bases and errors by our side allowed Willmar to end the night with the victory,” commented Head Coach Jacob Munsch of Alexandria.

Shay Endres started the game and was tagged with the loss going 4 innings allowing 3 runs (1 earned) on 3 hits. Endres walked 3 batters and struck out 5. Elijah Holthaus relieved Endres and pitched the final 2 innings allowing 1 earned run on 2 hits. Holthaus walked 1 and struck out 3.

Alexandria was able to scatter 5 hits in the game with Lake Hagen, Shay Endres, JD Hennen, and Grady Anderson each adding one. Devan Swerman hit his second home run of the season as well, putting a ball over the left field fence.

The Cardinals will host Fergus Falls on Thursday at 7:00pm. JV plays prior to varsity starting at 4:30. “It is also Senior night and we will be giving away free root beer floats to all kids in attendance. Sponsored by Geneva Capital,” added Coach Munsch.
