The Jackson County Central baseball team battled to the end but ran out of time and chances against archrival Windom Area at Wacker Field on Thursday. 

The Huskies stranded at least one runner in every inning and had the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning but the Eagles escaped with the 5-2 victory.
