Stillwater dropped their record down to 12-4 on Friday, which also ended the team's six-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the Woodbury Royals by a score of 7-6. The Ponies were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Royals earlier this season, when they won 7-0.

Tanner Kahn was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run and two RBI. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Caleb Janke, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

As for Woodbury, they have been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.2 runs over those games.

On Woodbury's side, their victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jack Gessner, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Those two runs gave Gessner a new career-high. Evan Crandall was another, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Stillwater is set to face off against their familiar foe White Bear Lake at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Ponies 3.5, the Bears 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Woodbury will challenge rival Park at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
