The baseball story had a 9-7 score at LQPV. In softball, the orange and black treated home fans to an 11-1 win. File the day away as a most upbeat one.
Ditto for Monday, a day that saw these squads prevail vs. Paynesville. Click on the link below to read about the Tigers' success vs. the Bulldogs. This post is on my companion website, "Morris of Course."

Baseball vs. LQPV: The Tiger bats were sizzling to the tune of frequent extra-base hits. The Tigers scored in four of the seven innings.
The highlight was a four-run second. Then came a three-run third.
Lac qui Parle did all right in the early frames but got blanked in the fourth through sixth.
Let's take a look at the line scores: MACA with nine runs, 13 hits and two errors, and the host Eagles with 7-6-1 numbers.
Back-to-back doubles off the bats of Jacob Torgerson and Lincoln Berget resonated in the second. Tom Holland had a role in that rally and finished the afternoon three-for-five. He had a double and two RBIs.
Tanner Picht's bat was sizzling and this Tiger finished at four-for-five. He too helped fuel the second inning surge. Two of Picht's hits were doubles. His RBI harvest: four.
Chandler Erickson made noise with his bat in the second. He delivered a double, one of two he had in this game. His boxscore line was two-for-four and he had two RBIs.
Berget had the perfect boxscore line of three-for-three. Jacob Torgerson was one-for-four.
In pitching, Torgerson and Mac Beyer shared the load with Torgerson getting the win in relief. Torgerson fanned seven batters and walked none in his five innings. He gave up three hits and one run which was earned.
Beyer got roughed up a little, but two of the six runs he allowed were unearned. He was wild at times, walking five batters in his two innings.
The losing pitcher was Brandon Bornhorst. Colby Siegert also pitched for Lac qui Parle Valley.
Two Eagles had multiple-hit games: Preston Kraft and Dylan Erickson. Kraft had two doubles and Erickson had one, so it was a day, truly, for doubles to rule.
Are you ready for some softball? The Morris Area Chokio Alberta softball Tigers, playing amidst weather not the best, gained a 2-0 lead in the first two innings and went on to win 11-1.
The ten-run rule ended this game before the sixth inning was completed. The Tigers rallied for four runs in the sixth.
They had eight hits on the day, and just as impressive was the zero errors.
Pitcher McKenzie VanBatavia held Lac qui Parle to three hits. The LQPV error total was three. VanBatavia struck out six batters and walked three.
The LQPV pitching was handled by Alyssa Harms (the loser) and Mikaela DuFrane.
Offensively VanBatavia had a hit and an RBI. Megan Mecklenburg had a hit in her only at-bat and drove in the two runs that ended the game via the ten-run rule. She performed a bunt single in the sixth.
Olivia Reimers and Nicole Strobel both went one-for-three. Sadie Fischer had a two-for-four boxscore line and drove in a run.
Holly Amundson also went two-for-four.
Three players each had one hit for LQPV: Mackenzie Clark, McKenzie Long and Harms.
