Spring Grove led twice but managed only one base hit in a 17-7 loss to Fillmore Central/Lanesboro on April 13 at Preston. Katelyn Kraus singled into right field to drive in two runs during the Lions’ big six-run second inning, which took advantage of two walks, two hit batters and two FC/L errors. Kraus would score on a wild pitch for a 7-4 Spring Grove lead. But FC/L plated nine runs in the bottom of the inning. The contest ended in the fifth inning with the 10-run rule.
