The season ended for the NRHEG baseball team, but not before the 2011 Panthers posted one final highlight.
The locals bested Waseca 11-10 at home last Tuesday. They fell 4-3 at United South Central in sub-section play Thursday.
Matt Dahle delivered the game-winning hit against Waseca on a suicide squeeze bunt in the bottom of the seventh. David Lassahn was 2-for-2, Jake Staloch and Tyler Sorenson 2-for-3 with doubles. Chad Schlaak and Eric Sorenson also doubled.
Cody Kraay, Carter Tollefson and Jake Staloch pitched, with Staloch going the final 2 2/3 innings for the win.
At Wells, the Panthers had a game that coach Jeff Reese said summed up their season.
Sam Lundberg was 3-for-3 with two doubles, Schlaak and Dahle 2-for-3 and Lassahn 2-for-4. Staloch had a two-run single to tie the game in the third inning.
Lundberg pitched for the Panthers.
The Panthers, who finished 3-8 in the Gopher Conference and 7-13 overall, graduate three seniors, Kraay, Schlaak and Mike Smith.
