The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva baseball team beat Randolph 8-4 Tuesday to win its second straight game.

The Panthers never trailed. With the game tied at one in the bottom of the third inning, Dillon Parpart gave NRHEG the momentum.

Parpart was the lead-off batter in the inning, and he received a base on balls. He stole second. He stole third. Parpart capped his infield heist by beating the throw to home. His steal gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead and the momentum.

It’s familiar territory, NRHEG head coach Jeff Reese said.

“That’s the second time we’ve stolen home this year. The pitchers haven’t really had a chance to get out there,” Reese said. “They sure didn’t help him (the pitcher) either. When Dillon took off, nobody said anything. He got a great jump on it.”

In the bottom of the fourth, NRHEG reeled off four runs to stretch its lead to 5. Trevor Tracy and Dillon Kubiatowicz scored on a triple by Nic Mangskau. Parpart and Johnny White also earned RBIs in the inning.

From there, the Panthers maintained their lead with Parpart on the mound.

“Our pitching was pretty solid,” Reese said. “He’s throwing strikes, and that’s what we want.”

Parpart pitched the entire game. He allowed eight hits and struck out nine batters.

NRHEG was coming off a 12-6 win over Medford. The Panthers are 3-4 on the season. Their other win is a 1-point victory over Blooming Prairie.

Next, NRHEG plays at Waterville-Elysian-Morristown at 5 p.m. Thursday.
