Hayfield at Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton
4:15 p.m., Tuesday, April 5

Hayfield posted an 18-7 overall record last season and reached the Class 2A, Section 1 finals, where it dropped two games to Lewiston-Altura. 

The No. 6-2A Vikings will vie for another section title behind a young and budding roster that includes several underclassmen who contributed to last year's success.

Providing leadership in the infield and outfield for Hayfield are twins Adam and Aaron Younge, two of the team’s three seniors. Junior Adam Fjerstad is the Vikings' only returning pitcher, though.

Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton fell short of a Minnesota Valley Conference title last season, but the No. 19-1A Bulldogs will put aside their chase for a league championship in this matchup as they prepare for section play with a tuneup against the Vikings.
