The Whitehall baseball team continued its winning streak with road wins over Cochrane-Fountain City and Alma Center Lincoln last week.

The Norse got going offensively in a 12-3 win over the Pirates on Tuesday then bested the Hornets, 6-1, on Friday. The wins made it five in a row for Whitehall, which has won seven of its last eight.

Whitehall took an 8-5 record into this week, including a 6-4 mark in Dairyland Conference play behind Osseo-Fairchild (8-2) and Melrose-Mindoro (9-1). That was before Tuesday’s game against Eleva-Strum. The Norse host Mel-Min on Friday and head to Arcadia for a non-conference game on Saturday. This coming Tuesday, the team plays in Augusta.
