Dillon Card put the Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale Raiders back on the win trail Thursday as he spun a one-hitter in a 2-0 victory over Wadena-Deer Creek.
The BHV right-hander gave up a leadoff double to Isaac Laughlin in the second inning. After Michael Behl put down a sacrifice bunt to move Laughlin to third, Card struck out Dylan Phillips and Tanner Horn.
The Raiders pushed runs across in the fifth and seventh frames.
Will Kramer led off the fifth with a double and came around to score on a single by Mac Schluttner.
Schluttner led off the seventh with a base hit and went to second on a passed ball. Preston Riewer’s fly out sent Schluttner to third and Mitchell Blaha’s double to center scored the game’s final run.
