ROLAND — A run in the bottom of the fifth inning broke open a 4-4 game, with a final tally in the sixth setting the final score at 6-4. Unfortunately for Woodward-Granger, it was host Roland-Story who emerged on top Monday in their non-conference tussle.
W-G (6-29) held an early 2-0 lead, then offset four R-S (9-13) runs in the third with two runs in the fifth to tie the game. The Norse were able to pull out the win with the two aforementioned rallies.
