Waverly won the last time they faced Norris and things went their way on Friday too. The Vikings walked away with an 8-4 win over the Titans.

Codey Nienhueser made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching six innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off five hits. Nienhueser was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Colt Kerchal, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double. Tyler Gilsdorf was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run.

Waverly's victory bumped their record up to 15-9. As for Norris, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last ten contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-13 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Waverly will head out to square off against Gretna East at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Griffins will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Vikings surely won't give up without a fight. As for Norris, they will head out on the road to face off against Elkhorn North at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Wolves' pitching crew has only allowed 2.1 runs per game this season, so the Titans' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
