They played another strong competitive game Saturday against area power Litchfield, but came up short in a 7 to 6 loss in 8 innings after coming all the way back from a 5-oh deficit in the fifth to tie and take the lead going into the 7th. Highlights included a Karter Marks solo homerun and a 2-run single by Brody Scheffler. Solid pitching in both games was provided by Scheffler and brother Jacob, along with scoreless innings posted by Caiden Bietsch, Marks, and Carter Beck.
