Vikings holds off Lakeview in slugfest

Coming off a pitcher's duel two days earlier, Minneota and Lakeview engaged in a 10-inning slugfest on Thursday in Cottonwood.
In a game that saw the two teams combine for 21 runs, 17 walks and 30 hits, Minneota prevailed 11-10.
The Vikings rallied from a 6-2 deficit after five innings and eventually knotted the game 6-6 with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh. The teams then matched scores in the eighth and ninth innings before the Vikings plated a pair of runs in the top of the 10th and held the Lakers to a single digit in the home half of the 10th for the win.
Peyton Sheik entered in relief in the second inning with the Vikings down and limited Lakeview to two unearned runs over five innings, scattering five hits and six walks, while striking out eight. Peyton Gillund pitched the final four innings for the win, allowing three runs while fanning seven.
The Vikings' two run in the top of the 10th came on a leadoff walk to Keston Jurrens, a sacrifice bunt by Ryan Dalager, a run-scoring single by Brody Larson and a run-scoring groundout by Jack Lacek.
Dalager, Larson and Tyler Gronke had three hits apiece for Minneota. Gillund, Lacek, Isaac Pohlen and Jonah Gruenes had two hits each.
