OAKES, ND. (NewsDakota.com) – Connor Schall put forth a dominant pitching performance on Monday evening as the Tornadoes defeated Northern Cass 2-0 at home.

Schall worked all seven innings on the hill for Oakes, striking out nine Northern Cass hitters while only allowing three total hits. The senior gave up just did not allow a walk in the game.

Oakes was able to score their two runs on the day after Howie Neustal and Steele Hansen scored off an error by Northern Cass. The Jaguars committed three total errors defensively on Monday night, and Oakes took advantage and got revenge for their 7-4 loss to Central Cass back on May 1st.

Oakes now sits with a 6-4 overall record in Region 1, which puts them a half-game back of third-place behind Northern Cass. Central Cass is currently in first place in Region 1 with a 9-1 region record, and Kindred-Richland is in second at 7-2. Oakes returns to action on Thursday when the Tornadoes travel to Kindred for a doubleheader.
