Panthers bounce back, top Loyola
The NRHEG baseball team ran its record to 9-2 overall and 5-1 in the Gopher Conference in winning two of three games in recent action.
Senior Matt Dahle again provided the big RBI Monday at Legion Field as the Panthers edged Mankato Loyola 5-4, drawing a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. For the game, he was 2-for-3 with a double. Sam Lundberg was 3-for-4, leading off the seventh with a single and scoring the winning run.
Mitch Akemann went the distance on the mound, allowing two earned runs on seven hits, with two strikeouts and six walks.
“Mitch gave a gutty performance despite not having his best stuff,” said NRHEG coach Jeff Reese.
The Panthers were also strong defensively. Shortstop Tyler Sorenson made a nice diving play to get a runner out, and right fielder Nic Mangskau threw out two runners at home.

The NRHEG girls’ track and field team turned in a strong performance to win the Blue Earth Area Invitational last Friday.
The Panthers totaled 73.66 points to 71 for second-place BEA. Martin County West had 60, Madelia-Truman 50.33.
“We competed in horrible conditions,” said NRHEG coach Duey Ferber. “The girls really pulled one off. We are really experimenting with our lineup yet. The big meets are right around the corner. Everyone is stepping up and going for it, and that’s the name of the game.”
Sophomore Carlie Wagner continued to step up, winning the high jump and 200 meters while running a leg on two first-place relays. Her little sister, seven-grader Marnie, won the long jump. Mikayla Lindell was first in the discus and second in the shot put.
The foursome of Abby Crabtree, Danielle Krueger, Raelin Schue and Carlie Wagner won the 4x100 and 4x200 relays.
