Holmen had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Sparta on Tuesday. The Vikings were the clear victors by an 11-4 margin over the Spartans. Considering the Vikings have won three games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Jude Anderson tossed a big game, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off two hits.
