The Orioles battled to the bitter end during Monday’s Division III playoff opener at Mascenic, but Conant never overcame their early seven-run deficit, and the Vikings held on for a 7- 4 win.
Mascenic (14-2) beat Conant (10-7) four times during the regular season, but Viking coach Dutch Stauffeneker made sure his team wasn’t taking a playoff win for granted.
“I was really nervous about this game,” Stauffeneker said. “I was nervous about us having a mental letdown, ‘we’ve already beaten them four times, we’ll just show up’ kind of thing. So we talked about coming out with energy. It’s win or go home at this point – what you’ve done prior means nothing.”
