FELCH TOWNSHIP — After running roughshod through the Skyline Central Conference all season, the Norway varsity baseball team locked up an outright conference title by sweeping North Dickinson in a doubleheader on Friday.

The Knights topped the Nordics 10-0 to start the day and finished with a 14-0 victory.

Norway is now 21-3-1 on the season and 10-0 in the conference.

After facing Escanaba on Thursday, Knights’ head coach Tony Adams thought his kids started a little slow.

“We were a little sluggish to start, coming off of a tough game, but proud of the kids for competing,” coach Adams said. “An outright conference championship was one of their goals.”

Game One

Neither team could get anything going in the first inning and it was Norway that would find its rhythm first in the top of the second.

Cole Baij reached on an error and then advanced to second, bringing Bryce Adams to the dish. He grounded out, but Baij was able to move to third. Maddex Burklund was the next in the box. He also grounded out and Baij scored to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.

Game Two

Trevor Cherubini recorded the Nordics lone hit.

FLIVVERS 3, BOBCATS 2

KINGSFORD — The Kingsford varsity baseball team closed its season on a high-note Friday as it picked up a 3-2 victory over Florence at Lodal Park.

“I thought both teams played extremely well as evidenced by the fact that the game was won by a walkoff single in the bottom of the seventh inning,” Flivvers coach Joe Kriegl said. “I was extremely impressed by the quality of the pitching Florence threw at us.

We had our hands full and I expected nothing less as we knew Coach Johnson and McLain would have their boys ready and playing at a high level.”

Both offenses struggled in the first two innings.

Then in the top of the third, Florence took a 1-0 lead on an RBI single from Bryce Leffler that scored William Kelley.

Kingsford tied things at one in the next half inning on an RBI single from Jack Kriegl that scored Gavin Brown.

It took two innings, but the Flivvers were the next to score. A ground out from Andres Finley brought Gavin Grondin around to score and they held a 2-1 advantage.

But, back-to-back doubles in the top of the sixth, from Trent McLain and Leffler, tied the game at two.

Kriegl was the hero in the bottom of the seventh as he doubled to center allowing Grondin to score and Kingsford picked up the 3-2 win.

Kelley, McLain and Mason Koski all pitched for the Bobcats.

McLain led the way with two strikeouts.

Leffler was a force at the dish for Florence. He went 3 for 3 on the day with two RBIs.

Brown picked up the win for the Flivvers. He pitched all seven innings and tallied six strikeouts.

“Brown has been a beast for us all year anywhere we put him on the field,” coach Kriegl said. “And he once again didn’t disappoint offensively or defensively.”

Kriegl led Kingsford with two RBIs while Finley had one. Brown and Kriegl each tallied two hits. Brown and Grondin each drew a walk.

Now the Flivvers turn their attention to the MHSAA Division 2 District 33 semifinals against Cheboygan on Saturday.
