ALEXANDRIA, MN (KDLM) – The Alexandria Cardinals walked off the Detroit Lakes Lakers with a wild pitch in the opening round of the Section 8AAA tournament yesterday.
Detroit Lakes took an early 3-0 in the top of the first. Alexandria would make it a 3-2 ballgame in the bottom of the third, then would tie the game in the bottom of the fourth on a wild pitch. In the fifth, Jacob Thomas would knock in Jordan Tucker to take a 4-3 lead only to see the Cardinals tie the game on a sac fly in the bottom of the inning. Alexandria would take their first lead of the game 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth, but the Laker would tie it at 5-5 in the top of the seventh on a Kyler Johnston RBI single.
In the bottom of the inning, the Cardinals reached with an error, and an intentional walk before another wild pitch allowed the winning run to score.
