Jacksonville Beaten, 12-11, by Juneau
In a high-scoring game between Juneau and Jacksonville, center fielder Chris Norwood was a difference-maker. The 19-year-old helped Juneau grab the 12-11 win. He went 5-7 with a home run, a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. Early on, the Sled Dogs, at 17-3, have played an impressive brand of baseball.

The Sled Dogs got a clutch hit from first baseman Kalle Hovinen. In the bottom of the 14th, he hit a run-scoring single to center, to win the game for the Sled Dogs.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Norwood said.
