In a home double-header tonight, the Jaguars' baseball team swept Kimball Area to square their record at 5-5 overall and 4-4 in the Central Minnesota Conference on Thursday in Elrosa.

A run scored by Kevin Kuefler on a passed ball proved to be the winner in game one. A four-run fifth inning propelled them to the win, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Darren Wander earned the win in 2 1/3 innings of relief.

the game in the nightcap, with a final margin of 6-4. Roelike's big hit gave the Jaguars a 5-4 lead. An RBI-single by Brady Weller, who batted a thousand (3-for-3) in the game, tacked on an insurance run.
