The Lumberjack Baseball team earned a weekend split taking two of four games from Northland Community and Technical College.

23-12 Loss

The Jacks lost a marathon game to open the series. The Jacks got offensive contributions from multiple guys but six errors in the field would be too much to overcome.

Logan Beck and Daxton Vela each had one hit apiece both doubling. Dominic Holmstrup had three hits, two of them being doubles. Boyd Anderson had two hits and stole a base.
