4/22/25 Baseball Doubleheader: (Game 1) McDonell Macks 10, Fall Creek 0 (6 innings). (Game 2) Fall Creek 9, McDonell 5

Playing two conference games in doubleheader fashion, the Macks (4-3, 2-3 Western Cloverbelt Conference), came out of the gate strong against the Crickets (4-4, 2-1 WCC), run-ruling their opponent in six innings behind a complete game shutout pitching performance and strong two-out hitting.

In Game 2 it was Fall Creek's turn to start the game strong, and after seizing the lead in the bottom of the first they were able to hold off McDonell the rest of the way, earning the split.

Junior pitcher Cael Holm went the distance for the Macks in Game 1 in another very strong outing, while senior right fielder Grant Smiskey and sophomore third baseman Isaac Crawford each collected four hits over the course of the two contests.

4/21/25 Softball: Chippewa Falls 9, Hudson 5

Back on the road, the Lady Cards (3-4, 3-1 Big Rivers Conference) headed west to face the Raiders (3-5, 1-3 BRC), hoping for a sweep of the season series.

Chi-Hi started off strong, plating at least one run in each of the first three innings to take a 4-0 lead, but a grand slam sparked five unanswered runs for Hudson, before a Cardinals rally began with one out in the seventh.

Senior second baseman Roz Twyman tallied three hits, including a game-tying solo homer, and fellow senior Makenna Bauer also collected three hits and drove in a pair of runs. Junior pitcher Willa Risinger and sophomore pitcher Violet Mcllquham fanned 5 batters apiece.

4/17/25 Baseball: River Falls 1, Chippewa Falls 0

In a classic pitcher's duel River Falls(5-0, 2-0) edged out Chippewa Falls(3-2-1, 0-2), 1-0, completing a two game sweep of the Cards for the week.

CF Junior, Brady Smith, battled Nebraska-bound RF Senior, Auden Pankonin, every bit of the way, but the Wildcats were able to capitalize on a lead off walk to Landon Mc Quade in the top of the 7th and pinch runner, Quentin Anderson, was able to score the game's only run on a Colten Maves single.
