The Colfax Vikings will head out to take on the Clear Lake Warriors at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have had a bumpy ride up to this point with four consecutive losses for Colfax and seven for Clear Lake.
Boyceville hit Colfax with a four-run first inning on Thursday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Vikings came up short against the Bulldogs, falling 13-3.
Meanwhile, Clear Lake came up short against Chetek-Weyerhaeuser on Thursday and fell 7-2.
Wyatt Lundgren put in work while hitting and pitching. He tossed 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (one). He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with five stolen bases and two runs. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Colfax has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Clear Lake struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Colfax was able to grind out a solid win over Clear Lake when the teams last played two weeks ago, winning 13-8. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Vikings since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
