The baseball team came back from an 8 to 2 deficit in the 5th inning to take the lead 10 to 9 in the top of the 7th, but from there things didn’t go well the rest of the way as Glenwood finally pulled away to win 15 to 10 in 9 innings. The SHS offense had one of its better days in recording 15 hits including 5 for extra bases. The brothers Scheffler got things started in the 2nd as Jacob and Brody hit back to back home runs to give the Solons a 2 to nothing lead. Connor Borah, Wade Snyder, Karter Marks, and Brody each had 3 hits apiece with Brody driving in 4 with 2 doubles to go with his homer.

Next up is a non-conference 4:30 game today at Rochester.
