CROOKSTON SOFTBALL RALLY FALLS SHORT AGAINST DILWORTH-G-F
The Crookston Pirate girl's fast pitch softball scored four runs in the seventh
inning and still fell short as they lost to
Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton 8-6 on Seniors Day at the Donnie Lauf Memorial/Crookston
American Legion Softball Diamond.
With the win DGF solidifies the second seed in the sub-section playoffs while
Crookston could be anywhere from the third to fourth seed.
DGF broke open a 1-1 tie in the top of the third inning when they took advantage
of a couple Pirates errors by scoring three runs to take a 4-1 lead.
Crookston answered with a run on a Jennifer Meyer blast over the left center
field fence for her second home run of the season to get the Pirates within a
4-2 score. "Jennifer got her arms out and drove one right out of the park," said
Pirate Coach Chad Hitchen, "It was kind of a line drive shot, it was less than
50 feet off the ground. She's been on a terror the past couple weeks."
DGF scored four more runs in the sixth inning after the Pirates made a pitching
change, to jump out to an 8-2 lead, again taking advantage of Pirate defensive
miscues.
Crookston didn't go down without a fight as Sydney Epema singled and advanced to
second on the left fielders error. Marlee Wheelhouse doubled, knocking in
Epema from second. Meyer reached on an error, advancing Wheelhouse to
third base, then Meyer stole second. Brittany struck out, but the catcher wasn't
able to handle the pitch, when the catcher did recover the ball she threw the
ball down to first base it went off the firstbaseman's glove and everybody was
safe as Wheelhouse came into score on the play getting the Pirates within an 8-4
score. Erika Wheelhouse grounded out to the pitcher knocking in Meyer from
third. Ashley Jahn walked, Heidi Steinbrink reached on an error on the
pitcher as Brittany Jahn came into score the fourth run of the inning to get
Crookston within an 8-6 score. With two out Danielle Persson walked to
load the bases. Coach Chad Hitchen decided to go with a freshman pinch
hitter, Brooke Vatthauer, to replace Rachel Buchmeier. Vatthauer forced a
full count before she was caught looking at strike three and DGF wins the game
by an 8-6 score. "We came out flat at first," said Pirate Coach Chad
Hitchen, "I was pleased that we battled back, but we can't let things go south,
we can't take it all the way to Mexico we just have to pony up and be ready to
go after the next pitch. After all the errors and little miscues that we
had, we were still on swing away from winning the game."
The Pirates end the regular season with a 10-6 record and will now be playing
in the first round of the Section 8AA tournament, and Crookston will probably be
hosting a first round game.

Jennifer Meyer is congratulated be her teammates after her home run

The Crookston Pirates snapped a seven game losing streak by beating the Ada-Borup
Cougars 12-10 in Ada.
Ethan Hulst started the scoring for the Pirates as he hit a solo homerun over
the left field fence to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the
first inning, Ada answered with a run to tie the game at 1-1.
In the third inning Crookston scored again, as Alex Proulx, a
freshman, picked up his first varsity hit by hitting a double to center field.
Ben Curran walked before Hulst doubled, knocking in Proulx, followed by an Isaac
Edlund single that scored Curran to give the Pirates a 3-1 lead. Ada-Borup
answered with two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie the game at
3-3.
In the fourth inning Crookston scored two more runs when Brandon
Reierson and Matt Crawford hit back to back singles before Proulx singled to

Ada-Borup answered with two more runs to tie the game (for the third time) at
5-5.

game at 7-5. The Cougar lead wouldn't last long as the Pirates scored a
whopping seven runs in the sixth inning. Langlois and Curran started off
the inning with back to back walks before Hulst hit a triple to score Langlois
and Curran. Hulst later scored on a wildpitch. Matt Grove started a
two out rally when he reached on a fielders choice, Reierson walked and Crawford
singled in Grove. Reierson scored on another wild pitch before Proulx
walked followed by a Langlois single that scored Crawford and Proulx.
Ada-Borup scored a run in the in the sixth inning and added two more runs in the
seventh inning before Hulst struck out the final batter to pick up the 12-10 win
snapping a seven game Pirate losing streak.
Crookston improves to 4-9 on the year.

CROOKSTON BOY'S GOLF CONTINUE BUSY WEEK AT THIEF RIVER FALLS
The Crookston Pirate boy's golf team, playing in the fourth of five meets this week,
finished tied for fifth out of 16 teams at the Thief River Falls
Invitational. Crookston shot a 335 while Roseau won the meet shooting a
317. It was an important meet for the
Pirates, as head coach Steve Kofoed was still looking to fill a couple more spots
for their tournament squad by taking the top two scores from the meet at TRF.
The top two Pirate scores were Ty and Ethan Nimens who shot an 81 and 82
respectively. "Ty and Ethan both came out and played pretty
well," said Pirate Coach Steve Kofoed who added, "All of us
started out pretty shaky on the first five or six holes. It seemed
like they were all five or six over par so it was kind of anybody's ball
game at that point. After nine holes they were all kind of around
the 41 to 43 range." Coach Kofoed added that he was happy
with the meet at Thief River Falls, "It was successful. Our
goal was to get out and find two other players that put up a decent
number and two of them did, while the ones that didn't realize they
didn't play as well as they could. Hopefully the ones that didn't
make the tournament team can take some of the lessons that they have
learned to next year."
The Nimens brothers will join Seth Heppner, Kolton Walker, Ryan Remick and
Seth Kalin for the final round of the regular season at Roseau Saturday
morning.
The Subsection meet will be Tuesday, May 20
at the Longbow Golf Course in Walker, with the Section meet at the same course
on Tuesday, May 27.

The Crookston Pirate Softball team extended their winning streak to six
games, defeating Bagley 7-3 in a game played in Bagley.
After a scoreless first inning Crookston scored two runs on one hit capitalizing on Bagley errors to take a 2-0 lead. Crookston added another
run in

run of their own in the bottom of the third inning to cut the Pirate lead to

Meyer,
Brittany Jahn, Erika Wheelhouse, and Ashley Jahn
all would come around to score to give the Pirates a commanding 7-1
lead, and would go on to defeat Bagley 7-3. "It's
always important to get out to an early lead and that is exactly what we
did today," said Crookston head coach Chad Hitchen, "We came
out a little flat tonight but we stayed with it and we were able to
score some runs and had a big inning in the fifth as we used timely
hitting and capitalized on their mistakes. Brittany
Jahn pitched a great game for us and
Sydney Epema came in to wrap it up.
We need to have a good game tomorrow against Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton, if
we can win and get some help we could get a two seed for the section
tournament."
The Pirates finish the regular season tomorrow when
they host Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton which is senior day, game time is set for 4:30
pm. The game could be for the #2 seed in the Section Tournament,

CROOKSTON GIRL'S GOLF
THIRD AT WARROAD INVITATIONAL
The Crookston Pirates girl's golf team finished third out of five teams at
the Warroad Invitational on a warm sunny day in Warroad. Lindsay Morgan was the
medalist with a 91, two strokes better than runner up Emily
Hallie of Roseau. Morgan was the only Pirate to have a round under
100 as the conditions were very wet. "It was a great day, but the
course was so wet after all the rain they had," said Pirate Coach Jeff
Perreault, "As soon as the ball hit the ground it would stick and not
roll at all, so the scores the girls turned in were pretty good."
Lindsay Morgan was medalist with her 91, and coach Perreault talking
about Morgan said, "She played very well, again the conditions weren't
great and to shoot a 91 was a very good score."
Coach Perreault said that Monica Wold's back is doing better, not 100
percent, but is doing better and she should be ready to go on Tuesday.
Crookston will be in the Sub-Section Meet at Wildflower Golf Course near Detroit Lakes next
Tuesday.

PIRATE BASEBALL LOSES SEVENTH STRAIGHT GAME IN 7-2 LOSS AT GREENBUSH
The Crookston Pirate Baseball team suffered their seventh straight defeat as
they lost to Badger-Greenbush-Middle River (BGMR) 7-2 in a game played in
Greenbush.
BGMR started the scoring as they scored two runs in the bottom of the first
inning to take a 2-0 lead. Crookston answered in the top of the third when
Brady Langlois reached on a fielders choice, then stole second base. Ben
Curran followed with a single knocking Langlois to third to give the Pirates
runners on the corners. Ethan Hulst singled knocking in Langlois from
third for the Pirates first run, while Curran advanced to third. Noah
Prudhomme followed with a sacrifice fly to the centerfielder knocking in Curran
from third to tie the game at 2-2.
BGMR answered with three runs in the bottom of the third inning as the Gators
took advantage of three hits and an error in the inning. BGMR would add
two insurance runs in the fourth inning to take a 7-2 lead and hold on to it the
rest of the game. "The whole season this has been the way it has been,"
said Pirate Coach Brian Follette, "We are in the game, staying close and all of
the sudden we have a bad inning and we just can't seem to muster up enough
offense to get back in it to get ahead."
Crookston only had two hits in the final four innings, both hits were by Isaac
Edlund, who has increased his batting average to a solid .429 on the year.
"He's been doing a really nice job," said Coach Follette talking about Edlund
adding, "He's getting hits and he has good speed." Andrew Anderson
suffered the loss for the Pirates, while Elliot Hulst pitched two innings of
hitless relief for Crookston. "When Ethan got in he pretty much shut them
down in order," said Coach Follette, "He did a really nice job. We knew
that he had the capability of doing that."
Crookston drops to 3-9 on the year and will be at Ada-Borup on Friday at 5:00
p.m.

PIRATE BOYS GOLF TEAM 6TH AT FERTILE AND RED LAKE FALLS INVITE
The Crookston Pirate Boys Golf team traveled to the Fertile and Red
Lake Falls golf courses to play nine holes on each course in the
Fertile-Red Lake Falls Invite. The Pirates, using a different
squad, as coach Steve Kofoed continues to look for what he will use for
the Sub-Section Tournament next week, finished sixth out of 19 teams.
The Pirates used the invite as the first cut for the Subsection
team. "We took the second six to try to eliminate a few and
kind of get our spots for the final section team," said Pirate
Coach Kofoed, "I told them at the start I was looking for
85's or better as all the guys are capable of doing that. We had
three guys that played pretty well and they will come with us Friday to
Thief River Falls and we will hopefully be able to set all six of the
section players in stone come Friday." The Pirates Chris Larson
showed he was a possibility for the tournament squad, shooting an 82
this afternoon.
Nine Pirates will be fighting for the final six spots and they are Seth
Heppner, Seth Kalin, Ryan Remick, Kolton Walker, Ty Nimens, Zach
Cymbaluk, Chris Larson, Matt Greg and Ethan Nimens. The final
three made the first cut at the Fertile/RLF invite. The
Sub-section boys golf meet will be Tuesday May 20 in Walker.

WARROAD'S THIRD INNING LEADS WARRIORS TO 7-1 WIN IN CROOKSTON
After a couple inches of rain overnight, the baseball field in
Warroad was not able to host a game between the Crookston Pirates and the
Warroad Warriors, so the two schools decided that since Crookston's Jim Karn
Field in playable, let's do it in Crookston. It was worth the trip for
Warroad, as they scored four runs on four of their six hits in the third inning
and that was more then enough for the Warrior pitcher, Brett Hebel as Warroad
defeated the Crookston Pirates 7-1.
Warroad scored a run in the first without the aid of a hit, but getting a couple
walks and a hit batter as Chris Follette, the Pirate pitcher had control
problems to start the game, and actually could of easily been out of the inning
without any runs, but a dropped ball in the infield with bases loaded, did turn
into a force out, but scored the first run.
The Warriors added another run in the second as Hebel, who got to second base by
a Pirate error, went to third on a ground out and scored on Nick Capenter's
sacrifice fly.
It was the third inning that Warroad had two thirds of their hits, with Brent
Cole's double bringing in a run, speedster Jeremy Hahn single brought in another
and Carpenter again, the Warriors number nine hitter drove in two runs with a
single to left field and Warroad was up 6-0. "That has been our problem all
year," said Crookston head coach Brian Follette, "but look at those innings, we
had a chance to get out of it, but a dropped ball we probably should of had and
misplaying a line drive and we are just about there to make the play, but didn't
do it. Maybe some more time and more experience and practice, we will make those
plays."
Crookston would scored their only run in the fourth inning, with one out, Isaac
Edlund singled, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on
Follette's triple down the right field line. The Pirates were unable to get
Follette home from third, even though there was only one out, something they
also did in the sixth inning. "That has been a problem for us this year," said
Coach Follette, "we are hoping the kids can come through with a hit in that
situation and unable to do it, so we might have to look at doing some other
things in those situations, maybe squeezes and bunting the ball." Warroad scored
another run in the fifth without a hit and took advantage of three Crookston
errors.
Crookston is now 3-8 on the season and will travel to Greenbush on Thursday to
play Badger-Greenbush-Middle River in a single conference game at 5:00 PM. "We
are close," said Brian Follette, "and we'll get there, which will be the key
thing and we'll have to just keep improving."
Warroad improves to 12-2 on the year and the two teams will see other a week
from Thursday, when Crookston now will travel to Warroad.
