(NewsDakota.com) Mike McKenna struck out 10, and Kollen Kuntson and Brody Bartholomew had doubles as the Oakes High School baseball team defeated Fargo Oak Grove 5-1 on Thursday at Cummings Field.

The two doubles later resulted in two of the three runs that Oakes (4-2 Class B Region I) scored in the second inning. Oak Grove (0-4) had their best opportunity in the top of the fifth with the bases loaded and nobody out, but they only managed to score just a single run.

Oakes has a quick turnaround as they welcome Northern Cass Friday. The Jaguars rallied to defeat Central Cass 6-5 Thursday to improve to 2-3 in the region. Coverage Friday starts at 4:45, with first pitch at 5 p.m. on KDDR-AM 1220/95.9 FM and NewsDakota.com.
