Connor Dutke Game Report: @ Pine River-Backus

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Connor Dutke stepped things up a notch to give Wadena-Deer Creek the 'W'. Nobody could stop Dutke as he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). He has become a key player for Wadena-Deer Creek: the team is undefeated when he allows at most two earned runs, but 3-4 otherwise.

Looking ahead, Dutke and Wadena-Deer Creek will head out to face off against Sebeka at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Thanks in part to Dutke's efforts, the Wolverines will roll in on a three-game winning streak. Will Dutke and the rest of the team keep the streak alive?
