KBEK-FM (Mora, MN)

wcmpsports5 a few seconds ago 2 min read Mora hosted Isanti on Wednesday night. This game had a chance of not even being played due to all the rain during the day. But it all stopped in time to dry things out enough to get this game in. It was an important game to get played, because both teams were fighting for their spots in their divisions. Isanti needed a win to stay ahead of the two teams tied for 2nd in the south that were making late season surges.

Mora hosted the Bandits on Friday night. The Blue Devils were able to score the games first run in the bottom of the 1st on a RBI single from Austin Peterson, after Logan Graves reached with a single as the leadoff man. But East Bethel would answer with a run of their own in the very next inning to tie the game at 1. Then neither team was able to get much going offensively the next two innings, thanks in large part to the pitching from both sides.

The Bombers softball team hosted Ogilvie on Friday. In what was the start to a busy weekend for the Bombers, they were looking to keep their hold on the top spot in the conference. The Lions were coming in having won 5 straight game and 7 of their last 8 and were looking to improve their section record. The Lions leadoff batter was able to reach with a single, although that looked like that's all they were going to be able to get, as the Bombers quickly struck out the nest two.

Milaca's baseball team traveled to Pine City on Thursday afternoon. Both teams came in feeling like they have yet to play a complete game. Both were fairly good on defense, but the offenses have struggled to get things going. This was an important game for both as it was a section game as well. The Wolves got off to a quick start, with one hit they were able to score two runs to take an early. Pine City was unable to answer back in their half of the 1st.

Braham welcomed the Jags on Tuesday. The Jags 1st inning didn't go well. After only getting one hit from the offense, the defense gave up 4 runs on 3 hits to the Bombers and found themselves trailing early. Once back on offense they again struggled to get on base and wouldn't get another hit till the 4th inning. Credit is due to Alex Rysdam who, much like last year, made it difficult for anybody to make contact with the pitches she was throwing.

The Bombers played the Cardinals on Wednesday night. This was not the first game between these two teams. They had met earlier in the season in Upsala, where the game went into double overtime before Braham came away with the victory 87-85. But this time of course more was on the line, win or go home. Upsala got out to an early 5-0 only for that be to outdone by Braham's 9-0 run. From there on it was an even battle. Neither side was able to pull away from the other.

Milaca hosted Pine City on Monday night. The Wolves and Dragons played in a late season section matchup. Both teams were coming into this game off a loss and were hungry for a win. Both teams started the game on a good note, and both were trying to push the pace. The Dragons were able to take an early lead and built it up to 4. But that didn't last long as the Wolves turned things around and took over the lead and now lead by 4 themselves.

Chisago Lakes hosted Big Lake in a conference double header on Friday. The girls would play the first game of the night. It was the regular season finale for both sides, and they each were looking for some momentum to carry into the playoffs. As the game began Big Lake took an early lead, but the Wildcats were not far behind. Almost every basket the Hornets made was answered by the Wildcats, this kept the 1st half close and neither side could pull away.

Mora made their way to Pine City on Friday night. This was the 2nd meeting of the season between these two rivals. In a matchup that is a section game but now also a conference game, there was alot on the line for both teams. The game started with a turnover for Pine City, and Mora wasted no time in capitalizing off of that. The Dragons struggles with turnovers continued, but all of the turnovers were coming on unforced errors.

It was the 2nd and final meeting of the season between these two teams on Tuesday night. In the 1st game of the double header it was the girls who would play. It was a slow start to the game for both teams, neither team could establish any rhythm on offense but the defenses were stepping up. Whether it was blocked shots, steals, playing physical or forcing awkward shots we had it all from a defensive standpoint. Both teams were able to score periodically but simply couldn't beat the defense.
