 After getting so close to the state tournament just a season ago, the Bemidji baseball team has been itching to get back to work. The Lumberjacks got that opportunity for the first time this season earlier this afternoon, taking on East Grand Forks in their season opener. Bottom of the first, no score, runner-on-second for Otto Grimm and he hits a shot to second. The fielder can't handle the ball. One-run score is part of a three-run first. Still up three in the third Grimm back at the dish. He ropes a single to right, runner-on-second, scores with ease. Jax go up four. Bottom four, Jax up five, runners-on-first and second. Matt Fitzgerald drives a shot to the left center gap for the RBI double. Bemidji goes up six and then next batter Otto Grimm coming through again. Missing a three-run shot by just feet, settling for the two RBI triple. Jax take the eight-run lead. They lead by nine after four. EGF would claw close, but Bemidji wins it in 5-15-2-5.
