Sloppy defense cost the Panther baseball team team on Monday to the tune of a 10-1 Camden Conference loss to Minneota.
Errors opened the door for the Vikings to score three runs in the third inning, and Minneota added five more in the fifth to ice the game. In all, TMB committed six errors — a season high.
David Schuh had a pair of hits and an RBI, and Taylor Squires, Brayden Marron, Aiden Sanow and Nolan Carlson each had a hit; Marron’s was a double.
Connor Lanoue allowed eight runs over 4-2/3 innings, but just two of them were earned. He struck out five.

While the Panthers have played in their share of tight contests this spring, this one was all but over after one inning when they pushed seven runs across in the first inning. They added salt to the wound with six more runs in the fourth, and for good measure, they scored four more times in the fifth.
