Algona improves to 9-3 in NCC play

Lead Summary

Nick Stein rapped out three hits and pitched the final two innings for a save to help lead the Algona Bulldogs baseball team to a 7-5 North Central Conference win over the Clear Lake Lions as the red-and-black swept the defending Class 2A state champions this season.
Stein had a single and a pair of doubles, scored twice and drove in a pair of runs as the Bulldogs improved to 12-14 overall on the year but more importantly are now 9-3 in the league, good for second place behind conference leader Webster City.
The home team got off to great start in the bottom of the first inning with a two out rally.  After the first two batters were retired, Grant Goche drew a base-on-balls and Stein ripped single up the middle and the ball got past the Lion outfielder as both runners moved up 90 feet.
