ALPENA–The Alpena baseball team didn’t record a hit, but managed to plate a pair of runs during a Big North Conference contest against Gaylord on Wednesday.

Gaylord led 4-2 after five innings before the game was called due to weather. Big North Conference rules require the game to be completed at a later date.

Alpena starter Travis Weide struck out seven, but the Wildcats (0-6) also struck out seven times at the plate.

Gaylord built a 4-0 lead before Alpena scored twice in the bottom of the fifth inning, taking advantage of a bases-loaded walk and a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch.

Kadyn Budnik and Keegan Hahn each had an RBI for Alpena.

GIRLS SOCCER

Gaylord 1, Alpena 0

ALPENA–A first-half goal off corner kick scrum proved to be the difference on Tuesday as Gaylord topped the Alpena girls soccer team.

Alpena (1-3, 0-2 Big North) had some chances throughout the night, but couldn’t capitalize. Alpena coach Tim Storch praised keeper Alayna Trelfa and midfielder Jenna Leeck for their efforts and has been pleased with Alpena’s growth.

“I’m happy with the way we’re playing. We’re coming together and a lot of good things are happening,” Storch said. “Now we need to fine-tune our attack.”

Alpena hosts Cadillac on Thursday.
