Sweeney's ninth-inning blast leads Huskies past Border Cats

Thunder Bay loses consecutive games for the first time in 2024.

THUNDER BAY — For the first time this season, the Thunder Bay Border Cats have dropped back-to-back games.With two out and one aboard, M.J. Sweeney drilled a ball over the wall in left, the Duluth Huskies second long-ball of the day proving to be the difference in a 6-4 win for the American side.

It’s unfortunate, said Cats manager J.M. Kelly, his team having given up five home runs in their past four home games, part of a lengthy six-game set with the Huskies. “You always want to win. We played hard all day, had some tough breaks early and came back to tie it up late,” said Brooks, who now has hits in three straight appearances.It didn’t help the Border Cats cause that Huskies starter Cale Haugen was ahead in the count most of the afternoon, the matinee affair allowing 2,853 mostly school-aged children to take in the Monday’s game at Port Arthur Stadium.
