The good news for the NRHEG High School baseball team is that the Panthers snapped a losing skid last week.
The bad news is it was sandwiched by a pair of lop-sided losses.
The Panthers, who finished the regular season Tuesday and open section tournament play Friday, saw their record slide to 6-11 overall and 5-7 in the Gopher Conference.
Medford 11, NRHEG 4
The Panthers kept it close for five innings against the highly regarded Tigers at Legion Field Monday, May 11 but saw the visitors blow it open in the late innings.
Medford managed three runs in the top of the first inning in drizzly conditions. The Panthers plated a run of their own in the bottom of the first.

The NRHEG High School clay target team took to the range once again last week as they continue to try and catch the conference-leading team from McGregor-Aitkin-Cromwell.
However, it was would be the MAC team that would continue to expand their lead over the second-place team from NRHEG. At the same time, the local boys did expand their own lead over the rest of the field and they now find themselves solidly in the runner up position after starting the season in fourth.

The winning ways continued for the NRHEG softball team, which completed a 4-1 week by taking down three opponents for the championship in Saturday’s Hayfield Invitational.
The Panthers ran their record to 10-3 for the spring under first-year head coach Coy Hupfeld. They’re 6-2 in the conference.
WEM 8, NRHEG 7
NRHEG got five runs in the first inning, all with two outs, but struggled to get the bats going afterward at Waterville Tuesday, May 5.
“WEM did a great job in battling back and taking the lead,” said Hupfeld.
Grace Johns did a terrific job of getting on base throughout the game. Alyssa Esplan got a key double that drove in two. Anna Lundberg also drove in two on a base hit late in the game, but WEM was able to hold on.
Esplan was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored, Torrie Stencel 2-for-3 with a triple. Contributing one hit each were Rachel Collins, Kaylie Camerer, Jade Peterson, Johns and Lundberg. Camerer doubled.
