JACKSON – Carsen Nyborg was 3-for-4 with six RBIs at the plate with a pair of home runs, including a first-inning grand slam, to lead Jackson County Central as the Huskies held off the Windom Eagles, 9-8, in a Southwest Conference baseball game.

JCC (9-2, 7-1) jumped out to a 7-1 lead after two innings but Windom snapped off a six-run third inning to narrow the margin, before tying the game in the sixth. The hosts used a suicide-squeeze bunt play in the bottom of the sixth to plate the decisive run.

In addition to Nyberg’s stand-out day, Zach Copley (1-3) also homered for the Huskies, Cooper Moore (2-for-3) scored two runs and Taylor Christopher (RBI) and Dustin Pronk were each 2-for-4.

Pronk earned the win for JCC on the hill.

Both teams return to action today as the Huskies host Fairmont and the Eagles travel to St. James.
