The Vikings went on to score runs in three out of the next five innings and defeated the Bees 10-3.

Tate Brawley and Tyler Clutter combined on a seven-hitter with six strikeouts.

The Vikings pounded out 14 hits off a pair of Bridgman pitchers.

Conner Glick was 3-for-3 with three RBIs, while Brawley and Tyler Parish both finished with two hits, including a double.

Taylor Campbell and Taylor Weldy both added a pair of singles.
