Sam Dubinsky and Brennen Dubchak tallied 83 seconds apart in the third, but try as they might, the North Stars could not net the equalizer.

The Border Cats bats finally came alive on Friday night, but despite scoring double digits for the first time this year, the team still wound up on the losing end of yet another Northwoods League contest. This time it was a five-run eighth that did them in, leading to a disappointing 14-10 loss at the hands of the Willmar Stingers. Evan Mistich and Tyler Wosleger homered in a losing cause for the last-place Cats (5-9), who dropped a second straight decision. Starter Eric Brown lasted just two innings, giving up four runs, one earned, on two hits and a walk before departing. Brad Delaette took the loss, taking over from reliever Zak Miller in the seventh. Jordan Smith did the big damage for the Stingers, going 4-for-5 with three runs and three driven in. Reliever Michael Jahns earned the win for Willmar (8-7).
