Northfield at Owatonna
5 p.m., Tuesday, May 3

Northfield has won the past five meetings with Owatonna, including in last year’s Class 3A, Section 1 finals when the Raiders swept a two-game series with the Huskies to advance to the state tournament.

Northfield already owns a victory over Owatonna this season as Erik Bartho scored off a grounder from Ross Beumer in the ninth inning seal a 3-2 victory in the opener on April 12. 

The loss helped send the Huskies to a 1-2 start, but they have since won five straight games to grab second place in the Big 9 Conference standings.

Owatonna (6-2, 6-1) surely hasn't forgotten what happened and is likely focused on avenging its loss to the No. 7-3A Raiders in Tuesday's matchup.
