Jaguars Baseball gets on winning track with sweep of Kimball Area - Jaguars Fastpitch also sweeps Kimball Area, 5-4 and 17-6

The Jaguars baseball team picked up two big wins in Central Minnesota Conference action on Thursday when they swept the Kimball Area Cubs 11-1 and 7-3. The double-header was held at Kimball and was broadcast on Glenwood's "Smooth Magic" 107.1 FM.

The Jaguars fastpitch team improved to 6-4 overall with a home sweep of Kimball Area by 5-4 and 17-6 scores. Emily Roelike led the team with 7 total hits. Laura Johnson fired 7 strikeouts in 7 innings from the circle in the 5-4 win.

For both squads, the wins were also important for post-season action, as Kimball resides in the same sub-section as the Jaguars for baseball and fastpitch.
