Red Devils get home win

The Noxon-Thompson Falls co-op baseball team added another win to their season, defeating St. Ignatius-Arlee 6-5 at home last Thursday.

The Red Devils were able to keep St. Ignatius runless in the first inning, while St. Ignatius was able to pitch a three-person no-hit strikeout. St. Ignatius got on the board in the top of the second inning, after two walks scored a run, and a single scored two runs. Noxon would remain scoreless in the bottom of the second.

The Devils were able to take the lead in the bottom of the third inning after Sam Christensen doubled, driving in three runs for the Devils. Noxon would now hold a 5-3 lead. St. Ignatius would answer back with two quick runs to tie up the game. Noxon would be able to sneak in one more run to take the lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, while keeping St. Ignatius to no runs. In the top of the seventh inning the Red Devils kept up the intensity to prevent St. Ignatius from scoring and secure the win.

"This was by far the most exciting and best game for the team. Although we had some errors, the massive improvement the team has made is super exciting. They are catching the eyes of people who can see their improvement and that is really what this year is all about," Coach Lucas MacArthur said.

Brayden McJunkin led the Red Devils with two runs, Logan Buckner, Bryson McCormick, and Lars Goedhard each getting one for Noxon.

The Red Devils travel to Whitefish to take part in a tournament this Friday and Saturday.
