- The Pine Island Panther Softball Team traveled to Austin Friday afternoon anticipating a two day Elks Tournament. The weather got in the way, however, and the entire event was carried out on Friday night. The Panthers won the first two games and then dropped a 10-8 game to Owatonna to finish in second place. PI opened the tournament with a 5-4 win over Simley. Most of the action for the Panthers came in the fifth inning. Taylor Bates led things off by reaching base on an error. After singles by Bruche Miller and Alison Newton, Katie Thein hit a blast that reached the centerfield fence and she cleared the bases with a three run, inside the park homerun. Kaitlyn Campbell picked up the win with relief help from Miller in the seventh. The bats came alive in the second game, as the Panthers racked up 17 hits in a 16-2 win over Albert Lea. Brenna Lien, Sarah Lenn, Kamyn Peterson-Rucker, Shelby Kann, Courtney Pahl, and Katie Thein had multiple hit games. Bruche Miller recorded the win while Alison Newton finished the game by pitching the last inning. Peterson-Rucker hit a homerun in the first inning to drive in three. In the championship game PI jumped out to an 8-3 lead after three innings, but Owatonna stormed back to take the lead in the fifth when they plated five runs. Bruche Miller started the game, and Kaitlyn Campbell pitched the final 2 2/3 innings. Courtney Pahl, Katie Thein, and Alison Newton were named to the all-tournament team. The Panthers play three games this week. Tuesday night they travel to Houston, Thursday night they host Lake City, and Friday night St. Charles comes to town.

- The Pine Island Varsity Baseball team defeated Goodhue on Friday, April 27th, at Goodhue, 13-6. Josh Torkelson had 4 hits and Adam Pleschcourt had 4 RBIs to pace a 13 hit attack.

The game will be broadcast on KDHL Radio with the pregame show starting at 4:45 PM. It is on 920 AM.

8:30 - 10:00 Work out and cool down
10:00 - 10:30 Guest speaker

COST: $40 includes a tshirt, indicate size on registration
**This does not obligate you to join the CC team in the fall, but we hope you will consider it. It's a fantastic way to meet new friends, be competitive, stay in shape and have fun.
Questions? Please call Amy Northrop at 356-8227 or email at anorthro@pineisland.k12.mn.us or pineislandcrosscountry@gmail.com

If you are interested in learning about the frogs and toads native to Minnesota, stop by Ms. Schimek's room to learn more about how you can become one of the few how can differentiate between the calls Spring Peeper, the Chorus Frog, the Northern Leopard Frog, Green Frog, American Toad, and others!

Shelby Kann scored the go ahead run in the top half of the ninth after she had led off the inning with a hard single up the middle. Sarah Lenn pushed Kann to second on with a beautiful bunt, and Cede Finstuen moved Kann to third with another bunt single. Bruche Miller then launched a drive deep enough to center to score Shelby from third base. Miller then went to the mound and shut down the Knights in order in the bottom half of the inning, striking out the final batter. Alison Newton started the game for PI, pitching five strong innings while giving up four hits and striking out 8. Miller relieved Newton in the sixth, pitched her way out of a jam, and went the final four innings giving up one hit and striking out five. Newton and Kann each had a pair of hits in the contest. Courtney Pahl and Cede Finstuen had the other two hits for the Panthers. The team now travels to LaCrescent Friday night for their last regular season game.
