BLANCHARDVILLE - Pecatonica's baseball team had solid pitching all day from both starter Devin Jeglum and reliever Lee Vlasak and held off Cassville, 4-3, Friday.
Cassville scored three runs in the first inning, including a two-run home run by Cody Junk.
Pecatonica picked up a pair of runs in the inning. Vlasak walked to lead off the first, stole second and scored on a single by Milton Kurschner. Tannar Johnson (3-for-3) then drove in Kurschner with a single.
The Vikings added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Kurschner reached on an error and was sacrificed to second by Jeglum. On a dropped third strike, Kurschner moved to third and Bryan Daley took first. Head coach Jim Strommen had Daley steal second, and Johnson came through with another single.
