Aiden Dorzinski and Fuerniss were the lone NP hitters with multiple hits in a balanced attack.
New Prague was able to get a couple of runs off Petricka in the fourth inning when Gavin Bergman walked and Fuerniss reached on errors. With the infield up, Kajer delivered a big hit to drive in both runs.  The O’s would tack on another run in the sixth when McBroom knocked in Bergman on a fielder’s choice.  Fuerniss and Mader would both deliver two-run doubles later in the game.
Jayce Luna started the game going three innings and striking out five. Sam Baker came on in relief and finished the game pitching six innings and striking out nine.
Nate Rost, Joey Grote, Aiden Tobiu, Jack Jandro and Petricka had the five hits for Faribault.
