Late Run Saves Game for Vikings
Viking Baseball coach Tom Shinn said yesterday’s 13-12 win over Creswell was an exciting game that showed how much composure the team had that kept them fighting. The Vikings were down 12-7 in the seventh inning when the Viks surged. Andrew Jensen-Norman hit a double late in the top of the inning to drive two runners across the plate giving the Vikings the lead. Freshman Zak Nilles finished in relief for the team giving them the win. Shinn says he would still like to see fewer errors from the team. The Vikings host Creswell here on Friday.
