Drew Pepin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time he's pitched this season.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Colby Bossert, who went 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Gavin Clark, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.

Meanwhile, while Lake Stevens put up some runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Cascade. The Vikings walked away with a 4-0 win over the Bruins. The Vikings haven't had any issues with the Bruins recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.

Cascade's batters probably weren't too happy with Luke Morris, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 14 Ks (he gave up a single walk). Those 14 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for Morris.

On the hitting side, Aspen Alexander was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one triple. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Julian Wilson was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run.

Lake Stevens lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Jackson's record now sits at 11-3. As for Lake Stevens, their record is now 9-5.

Jackson couldn't quite finish off Lake Stevens when the teams last played back in April of 2024 and fell 4-2. Can the Timberwolves avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
