The NRHEG High School baseball team defeated Hayfield 12-10 in a less-than-textbook affair Monday, May 1 at Jeff & Carol Reese Field in New Richland.

“It wasn’t pretty, but it was a ‘W’,” said Panthers coach Mark Lee.

Hayfield got things moving in the first inning as Aiden Nelson hit into a fielder’s choice, driving in a run.

The Panthers plated six runs in the fifth, led by run-scoring hits from Ethan Thompson, Seth Staloch, Jared Lee and Andrew Phillips.
