HOLMEN — A late comeback in the first game came up short for the Holmen High School baseball team on Friday, but a rally by Chippewa Falls near the end of the second game forced a tie.
The Cardinals collected the last out after the Vikings scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning to earn a 3-2 victory before scoring single runs in the sixth and seventh to force a 3-3 tie when the second game went into the eighth inning.
First baseman Abe Henderson and center fielder Tyler Rosenow each drove in a run to give Holmen a 3-1 lead in the second game before Chippewa Falls scored the final two runs to force extra innings and a tie.
Alex Goryl, Joe Meeter and Noah Oswald combined to strike out five and allow one earned run for the Vikings (2-1-1).
Third baseman Nolan Mashak drove in one run, and a bad pickoff throw to first base resulted in another run during the seventh inning of the first game. Mashak and shortstop Brennon Metzler were both 2 for 3 in that game.
