Holmen waltzed into their match on Saturday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Stevens Point Panthers 8-6. For the Vikings, this counts as revenge for the 4-3 win the Panthers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.
Tyler Rosenow made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he posted two strikeouts, the most he's had since back in May of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
In other batting news, Holmen let Joe Meeter and Noah Oswald run wild. Meeter went 2-for-4 with one home run and two runs, while Oswald went 3-for-4 with four RBI and one double. That home run marked the first that Meeter has launched this season. Nolan Mashak was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
Holmen's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-1-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. As for Stevens Point, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-5 record this season.
