HAYFIELD — The Vikings baseball team lost both games of a doubleheader to Rochester Lourdes (8-6 overall) by scores of 9-8 in eight innings and 11-8 in six innings in Hayfield Monday.

The Vikings (4-11 overall) had chances to win both games late but couldn’t pull one off.

“When you score 16 runs in a doubleheader, you should win at least one game,” Hayfield head coach Kasey Krekling said. “We’ve got to a better job of pitching and making plays in the field.”

Hayfield led 8-6 in the nightcap going into the bottom of the sixth, when its outfielders had trouble tracking down a couple of fly balls as it got darker outside. Lourdes put up five runs in the frame to get the win before the game was called due to darkness.

Hayfield had a chance to win the first game in the bottom of the seventh but they couldn’t keep up a bunt fair on a suicide squeeze with one out.

“The winning run was two steps from home plate, but we couldn’t bunt it fair,” Krekling said. “I was disappointed how we can’t do the little things right now to win games.”

Hayfield sophomore JB Stackhouse was 4-for-8 with a homer and three doubles on the day.

Hayfield has now won nine games by three runs or less this season.
