Key Performances
In the opener, right‑hander Connor Anderson delivered a complete game, allowing just one unearned run on seven hits while striking out several batters. Offensively, Nolan Johnson sparked the offense with a 2‑for‑3 effort that included an RBI, and Griffin Wimmer added a run‑scoring single.
The second game began with an early 4‑0 deficit, but the Post 87 bats ignited in the third inning. Johnson’s bat turned hot, finishing 3‑for‑4 with a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored, while Wimmer drove in three runs of his own.
Alexandria finished the night with 13 hits, a flurry of extra‑base hits that overwhelmed the Fergus Falls pitching staff. The team’s resilience turned a 4‑0 hole into a commanding 15‑5 win.
