NFV opened the Class District baseball playoffs Saturday night in Waukon, with a 12-1 victory over Starmont.
The TigerHawks opened the bottom of the first with a run on Dylan Muggler’s single, stolen base, and an RBI single up the middle by Lance Butikofer.
The Stars, just 1-28 on the season, struck back in the second with a pair of walks, a hit batsman, and an error to tie the game at 1-1.
However, the bottom of the inning gave NFV a 6-1 lead as it used three hits, a couple of walks, a hit batter, and three wild pitches to score five times.
