The Rockford baseball team fell to 3-8 in the CMC and 3-10 overall. Our baseball team improved to 6-6 overall and 6-5 in the CMC.
In a mid-afternoon golf meet at the Whispering Pines Golf Club, the Lady Jaguars golf team took first-place honors in the Annandale Invitational Two-Person Scramble. Whitney Bertram and teammate Megan Herickhoff joined up to card a meet-low 78 to lead their team to the big victory.
Tuesday the diamond teams face Kimball in more CMC action. The baseball team hosts the Cubs in Elrosa at 4:00, while the softball team travels to Kimball for a 4:00 game. Seeding will take place on Wednesday night for the Sub-Section 5A-West softball teams, and a win over Kimball will help the Lady Jaguars secure a high seed, possibly number three, for playoffs that are set to begin next week (May 17).
If the Lady Jaguars softball team did earn the three-seed, they could match up with 2006 state entrant Browerville in the semi-final round of sub-sections, barring first-round upsets to either team. The Tigers had to replace all but one player in their lineup this year, yet have managed a winning record in 2007. They were nipped by Osakis (4-5) last night 10-9 in Prairie Conference action to fall to 7-3 overall. I'd take a 5-9 record with mainly Central Minnesota Conference play up against a 7-3 or 4-5 record from a Prairie Conference team any day. Upsala, Eagle Valley, and Osakis, have all given Browerville losses this spring. State-ranked Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg (12-2) is odds-on favorite to get the number-one seed. The Fighting Saints play in a semi-rugged Camden Conference, made up of numerous Class A teams around Marshall in southwest Minnesota.
From my sources, overall standings for Sub-Section 5A-West (softball):
K-M-S (12-2)
Browerville (7-3)
B-B-E (4-9)
Osakis (4-5)
Upsala (5-3)
Swanville (3-6)
St.Johns (2-6)
CMCS (0-8)
