NEW ULM — The weather wasn’t fit for man nor beast.
However, it was fit enough for Minnesota Valley Lutheran and Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop to play a Tomahawk Conference game that saw the Chargers come back from a 6-2 deficit to win 7-6 in 4 1/2 innings after experiencing rain the entire game.
The win tightened the standings in the middle of the conference, with GFW dropping to 7-4 with MVL improving to 6-5.
But considering the terrible spring weather baseball teams have experienced, the main focus isn’t necessarily about the conference rankings.
“It’s not about the wins and losses, it’s about getting the team the reps and getting them ready for the playoffs,” Chargers coach Jeff Schoenherr said. “I’m really happy with the way the guys played. The defense made plays and made the routine plays.”
Thunderbirds coach Jeff Seehafer also took note of MVL’s offense.
