Story and Photo by Joyce MeyerKeeping the hanging flowers in the Czech Village

of Spillville beautiful takes many volunteers. Dave and Kris Timp and family picked up the beautiful blooms and hung approximately 95 planters all over town. Head of the volunteer watering group are John and Shirley Francis. Other volunteers who took their weekly turn were Dave and Kris Timp and family, John and Shirley Francis with Collin Wiltgen, Kathy Meyer and Elsie Swehla, Dave & Sharon Mndashek, Gabe and Mary Klimesh and grandchildren, Darrell and Tammy Schmitt, Manian and Lexi Murphy, Travis Jessica Lennon, Georgia Klimesh and family, Aaron Dent and Michelle Klimesh. Substituting when needed are Jeff and Judy Adams, Ryan and Collin Wiltgen and Jeff and Jennifer Ira.

Our Bird Haven GardenStory and photos by Joyce

Meyer“Birds can make Your Heart

Sing for Joy.”As the garden stories have be-

gun, I thought I’d tell a little about what’s going on at our place in Spillville. As many of you know, it’s important for us to make a safe habitat for all of God’s creatures, great and small, so we dedicated our yard to be a certified wildlife habitat. We enjoy watching all the wildlife, especially the birds, on our second level deck and gazebo where we are tree high with the birds on the branches. We espe-cially enjoy our little bird haven up in our “treehouse” gazebo.

We are busy with our 25 new trees for songbirds that we plant-ed this spring. So far we have kept all alive and can’t wait for them to attract more birds!

It’s important to feed and water birds midsummer as they fledge one brood and are busy with the new batch of mouths to feed. We have been going through a jar of grape jelly a day and busy keeping the hummingbird/oriole feeders cleaned and filled beside the other bird feeders. The reward is getting to see orioles, bluebirds, woodpeckers and more bring their babies to the feeder or deck and feed them until they get the hang of feeding themselves. I do have a wren that built her house in our new window nestling boxes outside my office window. She sits on top of the box and sings each morning. Unfortunately, we came home last week to find one group of bluebirds did not fledge as we thought, but were dead inside the nestling box. We have no idea what caused it. We have had problems with raccoons and

took down our suet feeder. We take in the grape jelly at night and one birdseed feeder that they can get to.

During summer bird feeding, you have the opportunity to see different species than in the winter months. Those birds are called neotropical migrants because they aren’t around in winter. It’s also a fun time to try offering some different kinds of foods. Here are some tips for creating a summertime backyard buffet that might bring a few new faces to your feeders from some of my

favorite bird websites. “Attracting hummingbirds

to your yard can be as easy as hanging a hummingbird feeder and filling it with a sugar water solution (1/4 cup sugar per cup of water). There’s no reason to add food coloring to turn the water red; you’re providing a substitute for flower nectar, which is clear. Don’t locate the feeder in direct sun, as the sugar water will spoil rapidly. In the shade your sugar water should last two or three days, except for very hot days, in which case it’s wise to change

your hummingbird feeder water daily.

Orioles are even simpler to lure in for backyard viewing pleasure. Just slice an orange in half and set it on a platform feeder or skewer it on your feeder pole. Other fruits will work too, such as cherries or grapes. Orioles seem to prefer dark fruit and will ignore yellow cherries or green grapes. They also LOVE grape jelly. Put a spoonful of jelly on your platform feeder, and once the orioles find it, it won’t last long! (Note-we fill up two jelly feeders a day as the young are now coming to the feeder also but oh so fun to watch.)

Grosbeaks are one of the best reasons to keep your seed feeders stocked in summer. The males are handsome, decked out in black-and-white formal wear with a pop of color (a red chest patch for Rose-breasted Grosbeaks). Females are drab mottled brown and may be confused with finches or sparrows. Grosbeaks are seed-eating machines. They’ll eat millet but their favorite is good old black-oil sunflower seeds.”

Many people entice bluebirds to take up residence on their property by putting up nest boxes. If you have bluebirds in your neighborhood, you can get an up-close look at them by setting a few mealworms out on your platform feeder. And if you have leftover wax worms from fishing, they like them too!

With the heat and storms comes more work keeping your feeders food safe. I had to take candles

ROGER TIBBEN Roger Tibben, 79, of Calmar, died on Monday, July 21, 2014,

at Traditions in West Union.A service of praise was held at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 25, at

the Schluter-Balik Funeral Home in Calmar with the Rev. Linda Thompson officiating. Interment was held at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, at the Exira Cemetery in Exira.

Roger Allen Tibben was born on November 19, 1934, to Lowell and June (Hess) Tibben. He and his family lived on a farm east of Exira, Iowa. Roger graduated high school in 1953, and continued his education at business school in Omaha, NE. Roger was united in marriage to Charlotte “DeEtte” Sjoblom on December 22, 1956 at the Methodist Church in Audubon. To this union two sons were born. Scott, who is a banker in Denison, and Steve, who is a department supervisor for Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Roger began his banking career at the Whitney Bank in Atlantic. He then worked for Life Investors Insurance Company before taking a position as a State Bank examiner with the crew in Atlantic. In 1969, he accepted a promotion with the Iowa Department of Banking and the family relocated to West Union. Roger continued working as an examiner until 1978, when he accepted a position as Executive Vice President with the Iowa State Bank in Calmar. Retiring in 1998, allowed time for he and DeEtte to travel and spend time with the family. He particularly enjoyed fishing and camping in Minnesota, woodworking and playing golf. They traveled to Arizona for several years to enjoy the warmer weather, making many new friends along the way. He was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs, the Lawrence Welk show and the Iowa Hawkeyes. He was active in the Calmar Lions Club, South Winn Country Club and the Methodist Church in Calmar, where he held several committee positions.

Roger is survived by his wife: DeEtte, West Union; two sons: Scott (Karen) Tibben, Denison; and Steve (Joan) Tibben, Mankato, MN.; a brother: Ron (Ila) Tibben, Eaton, CO.; a brother-in-law: John (Nancy) Sjoblom, Fort Dodge; six grandchildren: Landon, Kaylene, Logan, Madison, Alexandra and Mariel.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents: Lowell and June (Hess) Tibben, and his mother-in-law: Grace Sjoblom.

off our patio tables after I realized they were pecking at them and could cause those fine feathered friends harm. Here is some sage advice from a bird website:

“Keep your seed dry. Hot, humid summer weather creates the potential for mold. “Some molds produce the byproduct aflatoxin, which is fatal to birds.” They suggest filling feeders halfway in summer and refilling frequently, instead of packing feeders full so the seed sits for long periods. If you find mold on your seed, get rid of it.

Move feeders occasionally. Concentrations of seed hulls and bird droppings under a feeder can lead to outbreaks of salmonellosis,

a bacterial sickness that can affect birds (and people). Move feeders around the yard and don’t allow waste to build up in one area.

Put suet in the shade. Some packaged suet comes in no-melt varieties, but even these can spoil or become soft and foul a bird’s feathers in high heat. Keep suet in cool places. Or, switch to a hummingbird feeder in summer.

Clean your feeders regularly. Washing feeders roughly every two weeks with a 10 percent bleach solution will keep your feeders both attractive and healthy for your guests.”

If you know of someone who would be interested in sharing their garden ideas, please email

me at [email protected]. Let’s all enjoy nature at its finest; it’s right outside our door!

Neighbor to NeighborThis week I included a wide

variety of recipes, as this is the time of year when many different kinds of fruits and vegetables are available and at a reasonable cost.

Crates of peaches are now available. The following is a very easy way to enjoy them. The grill brings out the natural juiciness and sweetness in a peach. Grilled peaches can be served with meat, fish, or poultry, or even topped with some vanilla ice cream.

Grilled Peaches(Serves 2)

2 large peaches1 tsp. canola oilGround cinnamon to taste

Start with peaches that are firm with just a little give when you gently squeeze them with your whole hand. Cut the peaches in half and pit them. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with canola oil. Clean and oil the grates. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat (you should be able to hold your hand about an inch above the cooking grate for 3 to 4 seconds). Cook the peaches on all cut sides until grill marks show and the peaches are tender but not falling apart. Total grilling time is about 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Garden Vegetable Pizza2 T. olive oil1 medium onion, sliced

(about ½ cup)1 clove garlic, minced½ a small eggplant, cut into

cubes (about 1½ cups)½ cup red pepper cut into

1-inch pieces½ cup sliced zucchini1 jar (24 ounces) Italian

sauce1½ cups shredded mozzarella

cheese (about 6 oz.)Pizza crust

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, eggplant, pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender crisp, stirring occasionally. Stir the sauce in the skillet. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spread the vegetable mixture on the crust to within 1 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until the

pizza crust is golden brown.

BBQ BLT Pizza4 slices bacon, cooked and

broken into pieces1½ c. chopped spinach½ T. extra virgin olive oilSalt and pepper1/3 c. BBQ sauce (more or

less depending on preference)2 vine-ripened tomatoes,

seeded and chopped4 oz. shredded mozzarella

cheesePizza dough

Lightly massage spinach with extra olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl, set aside. Spray pizza pan very well with non-stick spray and then spread dough into a 12 inch circle. Spread BBQ sauce on top then sprinkle on spinach, tomatoes, chopped bacon, and cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes in a 400 degree oven until crust and cheese are golden brown.

Mint S’moresFrom Kris Wilgenbusch

4 peppermint patties4 whole graham crackers,

halved1 milk chocolate candy bar4 large marshmallows

Toast marshmallows. Place on top of the graham cracker a peppermint patty, then your marshmallow and chocolate bar and then top with the other half of the graham cracker. Enjoy!

For the next recipe, cook your whole meal on the grill. The beans are great with any grilled meat of your choice.

Home-Style Baked BeansFrom Mr. Food

2 (28-ounce) cans baked beans

1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained

1/2 cup finely chopped onion1 1/2 cup ketchup1/4 cup molasses3 tablespoons prepared

Members of the community can make a difference at a local level and help save the lives of hospital patients by scheduling an appointment to give blood. Be someone’s hero this summer by giving a life-saving gift to a hospital patient in need.

To reward and recognize you for making a vital contribution to your community, donors will receive points for their donation that they can redeem at the LifeServe Online Store for great gift items, including the 2014 Summer Superhero t-shirt.

Help boost the blood supply by giving blood at an upcoming blood drive.

• Calmar/Spillville Communities Blood Drive, Friday, August 15, from 1–5 p.m. at Calmar Lutheran Church, 200 N. East St.

Thirteen candidates vie for 61st Iowa State Dairy PrincessThirteen young women involved with the Iowa dairy

community will compete to win the title of 61st Iowa State Dairy Princess. The contest will begin on August 5 in Ankeny, with the coronation on Wednesday, Aug. 6, at 8 p.m. at the Multi-Media Center of the Cattle Barn at the state fairgrounds in Des Moines. The princess and her alternate are charged with helping consumers learn more about dairy products and the farm families who tend the farms and cows that provide them.

Among the contestants are:Dayle Lantzky, 18, daughter of Brian and Heidi

Lantzky of Hawkeye, representing Fayette County; Mikayla Lien, 19, daughter of Gary and Patty Lien of

Calmar, representing Winneshiek County;

The winners are chosen on the basis of their knowl-edge and enthusiasm about dairy, personality and com-munication ability. Both the Princess and Alternate will receive scholarships from Midwest Dairy Association, which sponsors the contest and princess program on behalf of Iowa’s dairy farmers.

The outgoing Iowa Dairy Princess is Mariah Schmitt, daughter of Carl and Terry Schmitt of Fort Atkinson, and the Alternate Princess is Celina Young, daughter of Jill Grabau and Greg Young of Waverly. Their reigns will be completed at the end of the Iowa State Fair, and the new Princess and Alternate will begin their duties on September 1.

NEIGHBOR from page 4

Arlin HansonYou might say this gentleman

has been around the Winneshiek County Fair forever. As a young 4H member of the Canoe Huskie Helpers, he showed his 1st Guernsey heifer calf in 1938 and has been coming back ever since.

All of Arlin’s five (5) children also exhibited various projects at the fair and his grandchildren still do. With the exception of 2 years, Arlin’s extended family have been participating in the fair since 1961 and they haven’t quit yet.

Arlin has not been idle this

whole time, along with helping his kids, Arlin served as a 4-H leader for the Springfield Choreboys. He also was a member of the Winneshiek County Agriculture Association as one of the Red Shirts (fair board) and has continued to serve for many years on the fair auxiliary (Green Shirts). His participation in the fair and 4-H earned him the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame award in 2005.

But Arlin’s claim to fame is his expertise at weighing things. He had been involved with 4H/FFA

weigh-ins at the fair forever—at least 43 years that we know of—that’s a lifetime!!! We finally got him to retire last year. Imagine the countless stories he could tell about the ones that got away—the steers that is.

At 85 years young, he still exhibited at the fair driving his WD45 Allis in the tractor parade. So we offer our thanks to Arlin and plan on seeing him around the fair in years to come.

Distinguished Service Award to Janice and the late Spencer Hotvedt

In visiting with their son Dan, he said that in the late 70’s Spencer was instrumental in starting the fundraising for the show barn. Before the show barn was built, the show ring was outside the E.J. Weigle building. Dan recalls one year as a young 4-Her, he was showing cattle in several inches of mud, so it

didn’t take Spencer long to “Pass the Hat” around the show ring, asking for donations to start the fundraising for a show barn. That show barn has been an invaluable addition to the fairgrounds, as an integral part of fair functions and other events throughout the year. We lost Spencer too soon, but today we show our appreciation

for everything he did while he was here.

Janice has spent many hours over the years helping out during the fair. She has served on the fair board, doing whatever needed to be done. In recent years, she has taken photos of all the activities that happen during the fair.

Marcellus (Marcy) and Marie BroghamerBoth were lifelong residents of

Winneshiek County and attended Decorah Schools.

Marcy got his start in 4-H at 10 with a Holstein heifer at the Winneshiek County Fair under the big, open sky under a 100 year old ash tree, not in a show barn. He not only showed at the county level but district and state, and became one of the Premier Holstein Breeders in the state

foil. Place pan on grill and cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until beans are bubbly and heated through, stirring occasionally.

Chopped Mexican SaladServes 2 to 3

1 can of black beans1 can of whole kernel sweet

corn (Use fresh now when available)

1 bell pepper1 avocado½ bag of fresh spinach leavesPepper, garlic salt, hot saucePour a T. of olive oil into a

large skillet and sauté fresh spinach leaves until wilted. As the spinach is sautéing, drain the cans of beans and corn, and chop the bell pepper and avocado. Mix all the ingredients together in a large serving bowl, adding pepper, garlic salt, and hot sauce to taste.

Till next time, keep enjoying all that fresh fruit and garden produce. It’s not only good for you, but good and delicious to eat.

of Iowa. He wasn’t just milking cows, Marcy was very active in the Holstein Association at the local, state and national levels. He received numerous Holstein and Dairy awards, including the Iowa Distinguished Dairyman, Iowa Holstein Master Breeder, Iowa Pioneer Dairyman, and inducted into the Iowa Holstein Hall of Fame.

Marcy was also a 4-H leader for many years helping the youngsters with their projects. He was a member of the Winneshiek County Dairy Council, Winneshiek County Extension Council and several other boards. He also served on the Winneshiek County Agriculture Association (Fair Board) for a number of years and served as its President. You could see him in the Dairy Barn or running around the grounds.

His wife, Marie, was part of a team raising 5 children: Kathy,

Marsha, David, Lisa and Terza (all who were very active in 4-H). Marie was also a 4-H leader and the cook at Pine Bluff 4-H camp. For many years, she was involved in the Milk Maid Magic recipe contests and Dairy Princess contests at the local, district and state levels. Whenever Marcy was out and about, Marie was home making sure the milking got done.

Marcy and Marie had a great impact in the lives of many 4-Hers and people in the dairy industry.

Unfortunately, Marcy left us a few years ago, but Marie still is with us. Marie is dealing with some health issues of her own and we wish her the best.

We would like to thank both of them for the time and dedication they put into making this a BETTER FAIR and their many hours working the 4-H youth. Thank you!!

Christmas in July at Ossian Senior HospicePhotos and story by Joyce Meyer

It is not every day one gets greeted in July with a “Merry Christmas!” But as everyone else is dealing with the warm weather, the Ossian Senior Hospice enjoyed Christmas in July last Thursday, July 24.

The festive group gathered as volunteer Barb Nasby of Decorah played Christmas Music on the piano to get everyone in the holiday mood. Activity Director Amy Barness made Christmas cookies and with the help of Mary Ann Witt served red punch and coffee along with the cookies. The party-goers proved to have great voices as they sang holiday songs played on the piano. The seniors were delighted when they opened up presents that were under the decorated Christmas tree from Santa. This reporter was thrilled to not have to battle a snowstorm to enjoy covering a holiday event, one of the many fun activites at the Ossian Senior Hospice. Merry Christmas!

Thank YouI would like to thank all of

my family and everyone else that made my 90th birth-day a day I will never for-get. Thanks for the beauti-ful cards, flowers, gifts and phone calls, music, etc.

Thank You,Irma Thuente

South Winn has had a very exciting season on the baseball diamond, to say the least. With just one loss in the regular season, the Warriors had their focus on making it through playoffs to get to the State Baseball Tournament.

After claiming the top spot in the Upper Iowa Conference and the District #8 Class 2A title, the Warriors were on track with their goals and had just one game standing in their way before they qualified to play at State. Last Tuesday, they added to the history of South Winneshiek baseball by winning the Sub-state game against Eagle Grove, qualifying for the State Tournament for the first time in school history.

The Warriors traveled to Mason City to take on the Eagle Grove Eagles for the 2A Sub-state #4 game last Tuesday and were fortunate to grab the home side of the scoreboard.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this team,” boasted Head Coach Ben Obermann. “Before the season began, I knew we had a chance to do something special and the guys set some pretty high goals for themselves.”

Senior Trevor Schweinefus went to the mound at the start of the game and got to work. Schweinefus struck out the first and fourth batters in the first inning and although he walked the second batter, the third batter was put out at 1st base leaving the walk on the bag. SW was a little skittish in their first set of at-bats scoring no runs even with a triple hit by Ryan Hageman and a walk leaving the score at 0-0.

“Trevor had his A+ stuff tonight and when he’s on like he was tonight, we know we can compete with anyone and be in a position to win the game in the end,” Obermann complimented.

The second inning went much like the first with both teams leaving one batter on the basepaths

at the end of their half inning, not changing the score and upping the nerves of the fans. Eagle Grove put up three batters in the third but

SW started the bottom of the third at the top of their batting order for another round at the plate. Senior Jared Schroeder hit the ball deep to left field but the EG player caught the ball for the first out. Junior Jordan Rommes stepped to the plate and slapped the ball past the fence for a 320-foot homerun. A bunt by R. Hageman and a deep fly ball to center field by Christian Kleve both went down as outs ending the inning 1-0.

“We had to battle for a couple innings, but once Jordan hit the homerun to put us in the lead, I felt it loosened us up a bit and then we started hitting the ball all over the yard,” Obermann continued.

The Warriors allowed just three more runners to the plate in the fourth inning, the first getting to base on a walk. The second was struck out for the first out, followed by the runner getting

out coming back to first base by a throw from catcher Christian Kleve to first-baseman Andre Walz. T. Schweinefus fielded the third batter’s hit easily throwing the out to first base.

Junior third baseman Tyler Numedahl got his first hit of the night sending the ball past the second baseman then stole second base during the next at-bat. T. Schweinefus smashed the ball to the fence for an easy double sending Numedahl across the plate for SW’s second run. Walz approached the plate and hit a line drive between the third-baseman and short-stop sending T. Schweinefus home and the fans to their feet. After three batters, the Warriors had two runs on the board for the inning and no outs. Sophomore designated hitter Logan Schweinefus popped up the ball to the outfield for SW’s

first out of the fourth followed by an on the base bunt from sophomore center-fielder Treyton Jacobsen and another on base bunt from Schroeder to load the bases with just one out. Rommes hit a sac fly close to the fence to put Walz across the plate, added a run and an out to the Warriors board for a 4-0 game with two outs. R. Hageman put the ball in play hard to send Jacobsen and Schroeder home but an infield hit to EG’s second-baseman by Kleve ended the inning at 6-0 SW.

The Eagles picked up the pace in the fifth inning putting two batters on base before SW got any outs. The second batter put the ball into the outfield through SW’s third-baseman and short-stop sending the first runner to third for full corners and no outs.

STATE from page 11T. Schweinefus struck out the next batter for the Warriors first out but EG’s runners started moving on the next pitch and although the lead runner crossed the plate safely, SW put out the second runner at second base. With the bases clear and two outs, SW was ready to end the top half of the fifth but the fourth batter reached

first base safely on a walk, only to go back to the dugout after T. Schweinefus struck out the next batter. SW had maintained their lead at 6-1.

With a new pitcher on the hill for EG, the Warriors were ready to put some insurance around the bags and increase their lead. Numedahl had a solid hit to left

but the ball was caught for the first out putting SW on notice. T. Schweinefus crushed the ball to deep left field and made his way to third base but EG’s throw was over the head of their third-

baseman giving T. Schweinefus time to reach home.

Walz was hit by the next pitch to advance to first base followed by a walk of L. Schweinefus to hold first and second base on free passes. Jacobsen struck out in the next at-bat but Schroeder loaded the bases on another free pass to make the fans loud as the Warriors also had two outs. Rommes put the ball on the bat again driving the ball into a gap and pushing Walz and L. Schweinefus home for a 9-1 game with two runners on and two outs.

A wild pitch to R. Hageman moved the runners to second and third and the winning runs closer to home. Hageman took his base after three more balls were pitched to once again load the bases with two outs. EG’s pitcher missed his mark giving Schroeder time to reach home before the ball was recovered by the catcher making the score 10-1 with two outs. SW needed one more run.

The Eagles chose to intentionally walk Kleve, loading the bases one more time to increase their chance of getting an out at any base. Tyler Numedahl walked to the plate with the fans buzzing behind him and put the ball into play advancing Rommes from third to home for the 11th Warrior run and the win 11-1 by the 10-run mercy rule.

The Warriors flooded the field to celebrate their victory and the

first State appearance for South Winn baseball. One more goal marked in the books for the 2014 team.

“Team chemistry often gets overlooked, but this group of guys has truly been a family,” Obermann stated. “They are a tight-knit group that are close on and off the field, and I believe that has been a huge asset in our road to state. In the sub-state game itself, I was pleased with how we handled the moment, it didn’t get too big for any of our kids.”

T. Schweinefus stayed on the hill all five innings giving up just two hits and three walks with one error. Schweinefus also struck out seven batters and was 2-3 at the plate with two runs, one double and one triple.

Other at-bats included: Schroeder- 1-3, 2 R, 2 SB; Rommes- 2-3, 2 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 SB; R. Hageman- 2-3, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 1 BB; Kleve- 2 BB; B. Hageman- 1 SB; Numedahl- 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 SB; Walz- 1-1, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB; L. Schweinefus- 1 R; Jacobsen- 1-3, 1 R.

“They have worked extremely hard to get to this point and I’m so happy that this group of kids is going to get the experience of playing in a State Baseball Tournament. We are going to enjoy this opportunity and embrace the experience, but our guys are not satisfied. The guys still have one more goal that they want to accomplish,” Obermann finished.

Good Luck at the state tournament Warriors!!

The Warriors proudly display their State Baseball Qualifier flag after winning their substate game 11-1 over Eagle Grove in five innings. Front row l-r: Treyton Jacobsen, Jared Schroeder, Jordan Rommes, Trevor Schweinefus and Wyatt Opperman. Back row: Assistant Coach Mitch Patrikus, Head Coach Ben Ober-mann, Joel Hanson, Ryan Dietzenbach, Tyler Numedahl, Christian Kleve, Brendan Hageman, Tanner Kuennen, Alex Walz, Ryan Hageman, Logan Schweinefus and Assistant Coach Mike Wenthold.

Sophomore centerfield-er Treyton Jacobsen bunt the ball during the fourth to put a second runner on the bases for SW. Jacobsen scored later in the inning.

Junior Tyler Numedahl sneaks into second base on a steal in the bottom of the fourth inning. Numedahl scored the sec-ond run of the game on the next hit.

Senior pitcher Trevor Schweinefus connects with the ball sending it deep into the field for a triple but a throwing error at third base gave him enough time to score on the play. Schweinefus was 2-3 at the plate with two runs and battled through four and two-thirds innings on the hill.

Good luck at state!
