RAYMOND — Errors hurt the MACCRAY baseball team late as Adrian/Ellsworth broke a 4-4 tie in the top of the seventh inning to beat the Wolverines 8-6 on Tuesday evening.

MACCRAY, needing one out, had a pair of errors that helped the Dragons (1-2) score four runs in the final inning in the non-conference game. It’s Adrian/Ellsworth’s first win and the Wolverines’ season opener.

Garrett Penning got the Dragons’ four-run seventh inning going with a two-out grounder where he reached on an error and Kyler Kunkel scored.

Then, Adrian/Ellsworth’s Jayden Russel hit an RBI single to score Penning. Jackson Jenniges belted an RBI double to plate pinch runner Charger Erlandson and Jenniges scored on an error.

Keegan Rand helped the Wolverines cut their deficit to 8-6 when his hard-hit ground ball forced a Dragons’ error which scored Jay Goldenstein and Grant Meyer.

Both teams had six hits. Keegan Rand and Angel Mendoza each went 2-for-4 for MACCRAY.

Rand, a senior infielder, had a double and one steal with two runs scored. Mendoza, a senior outfielder, had three RBIs.

Jase Dirksen got the season-opening nod on the mound for the Wolverines. The senior right-hander allowed four hits, four runs — one earned — with eight strikeouts and three walks.

MACCRAY is scheduled to play in the Morris/Chokio-Alberta tournament on Friday at Morris.
