Ethan Miller Twirls a Gem on Senior Day to Snap Hi-Liners Losing Streak
The Valley City Hi-Liners finally snapped their eight-game losing skid as they outlasted the Grand Forks Central Knights 2-1 to pick up their second win of the season.

That leadoff double would be one of only two hits Miller allowed in the game.
