PINE RIVER – The Pine River-Backus Tigers took the lead late and defeated Hill City/Northland Storm 7-6 on Friday, May 13.
The game was tied at six with the Tigers batting in the top of the seventh when an error scored one run for the Tigers to take the lead, and Aaliyah Lewis shut down the Storm offense in the bottom of the inning striking out the final batter to strand the tying run in scoring position.
Lewis led the Pine River-Backus Tigers Varsity to victory in the pitcher's circle. The righty lasted seven innings, allowing five hits and six runs while striking out 12.
Leading the Tigers at bat were Chloe Beavers who went 2-3 with a double and two RBIs, and Ramsey Tulenchik and Lewis both aided with doubles. “
I feel extremely proud of our last win.” Tulenchik said. “We came together and showed ourselves and everyone that we can be a good team when we all put everything together. As a team, I feel this is a building year and we can improve on everything possible. Experience is going to be huge for us due to being such a young team. Once we can get everything figured out I know we have the potential to be a great team.”
