The win moved the Rangers (3-9) into fourth place in the Stearns County League South and dropped the Lakers (7-5) a game behind St. Martin (8-4).

For the second straight week, Justin Mackedanz pitched a complete game for the Roscoe Rangers, who beat Lake Henry 9-7 on Saturday.

Lake Henry batted around in the top of the first, scoring five runs, but Roscoe erased that 5-0 deficit by batting around in the bottom of the first and scoring seven runs. Lake Henry tied the game 7-7 with two runs in the top of the second.

The game remained tied at 7-7 until the bottom of the eighth inning when Roscoe scored two runs for the 9-7 win. Russ Leyendecker's RBI single scored Brett Savelkoul with the go-ahead run, and Brent Heinen followed with another RBI single.

That rally ended a duel between Justin Mackedanz, on the mound for Roscoe, and Roger Wuertz, who pitched seven innings in relief for Lake Henry. Mackedanz, after allowing seven runs in the first two innings, pitched seven shutout innings for the Rangers. He also pitched ten innings to beat St. Martin the week before.

With the win, the Rangers moved a game behind Farming (4-8) and a game ahead of Richmond (2-10) in the Stearns County South. The Rangers will play at Richmond on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. with a win clinching the final playoff spot for the Rangers.

The Lakers will host Greenwald on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in their final regular season league game.
