Vikings softball team clinches No. 1 seed
The Littlefork-Big Falls softball team won its 13th consecutive game and improved to 14-1 following Thursday’s 10-2 home victory over Lake of the Woods.
Kristy Horne Dunn pitched all seven innings for the Vikings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out four.
Of L-BF’s 11 hits, four players — DyAna Imhof, Courtney Pfeifer, Brooke Millerbernd and Karli Little — each had two.
Imhof smashed a home run over the fence, Pfeifer hit a triple and Millerbernd added a double.
“We’re still hitting the ball really hard,” said Vikings head coach Mike Imhof. “We played really good defense.”
With Thursday’s win, Imhof said L-BF has clinched the No. 1 seed for its Sub-Section in Section 7A and will host the team’s opening playoff game May 22.
The Vikings have three regular season games left on their schedule for next week.

Evan Wimmer pitched all seven innings in recording the loss.
“We just couldn’t back (Wimmer) up in the field,” Larson said.
With about two weeks left before the Section 7A Tournament begins, L-BF has just one win for the season.
