Nolan Amundsen and Ortman combined on a five-hitter for Norway with seven strikeouts. Amundsen pitched the first four innings and recorded the win.

“We were able to do just enough to win both games,” Norway coach Tony Adams said. “Give credit to Bark River for playing well today. We were put into some pressure situations today and we responded positively to most of them.

“The calendar may say the first of week of May, but we are still early in the process of game reps,” he added.
