Moorhead extended their losing streak to six on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 4-8 in the process. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Brainerd Warriors. The Spuds were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Warriors apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
As for Brainerd, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-8-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games.
For Brainerd's part, Tristan Wilson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on one hit. Wilson also tossed no walks, which is notable because the Warriors are 2-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 3-7-1 otherwise.
At the plate, Brainerd's victory was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Griff Bartholomous, who went 2-for-3 with one run. That's the most hits Bartholomous has posted since back in April.
Looking ahead, Moorhead will take on Elk River at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Brainerd, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against St. Cloud Cathedral at 5:00 p.m.
