The Pipestone Arrows will square off against the Windom Eagles at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last three games Pipestone has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.

Pipestone came out on top against St. James on Thursday thanks in part to the team's impressive five-run fourth inning. The Arrows narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Saints 6-5.
