If you haven’t learned by now, perhaps last week convinced you: don’t bet against the NRHEG baseball team this spring.
The Panthers added two more victories, winning 7-1 at Waseca last Tuesday and coming from behind to knock off Maple River 9-8 Friday. It raised the Panthers’ record to 7-1 overall and 3-0 in the Gopher Conference, their only loss coming to defending state champion Eden Valley-Watkins.
Senior right-hander Mitch Akemann was dominant on the mound at Waseca’s Tink Larson Field, tossing a four-hitter while striking out 14 and walking six.
The big inning for Akemann was the fifth, when the Bluejays loaded the bases with one out and their No. 3 and 4 hitters coming to bat. Akemann struck out both.
