MADISON -- Solo home runs from Kevin Jenks and Mike Whittemore helped left-hander Trenton Berg outduel Eric Paulson as Minnewaska edged Lac qui Parle Valley 3-2 Monday in West Central South Conference baseball.
Whittemore scored the game's first run when Mike Nielsen singled in the first inning. Jenks then homered in the second and Whittemore in the third to give Berg a quick 3-0 lead.
Berg survived giving up five walks by limiting the Eagles (7-6, 9-8) to just two singles while striking out seven.
The Eagles scored twice in the fourth when Seth Haas drove in Jacob Redepenning with a single and Joey Schreck hit a sacrifice fly. Paulson scattered seven hits, six strikeouts and a walk in his complete-game performance.
