Thor Fischer and Jacob Hennen combined on a three-hitter with six strikeouts as Minneota won its third straight game.
Fischer worked the first 4 2/3 innings, allowing three hits and three runs, while walking three and striking out five. Hennen shut out Dawson-Boyd over the final 2 1/3 innings.
"Later in the game we took advantage of a couple of errors and scored a few late to make it a six-run game," said Minneota coach Keven Larson. "We ran the bases aggressively and that got us a few extra chances. Thor and Jacob pitched pretty efficiently."
