With fan support like this, there's no chance our Jaguars could lose!
The Jaguars are now 15-4 on the season. This is the 2nd-most wins in school history. A record of 16-4 is the school record, set in 1995. The Jaguars have now won every playoff opener since 2002 (seven straight).
Josh Beier's infield hit drove home Austin Kampsen from third base in the bottom of the 8th inning for the game winning run. It was an awesome finish to a tense game.
Holdingford, the 9th seed, finishes 4-16.
They play in St.Cloud next Tuesday night at 5:00 at Joe Faber Field. They will play Browerville/Eagle Valley, who won 1-0 tonight against Maple Lake.

They open the two-day Class A State Tournament on Wednesday, June 4, at Pebble Creek Golf Course in Becker. They are the first golfers from B-B-E to advance to "State" since 2005, when Steven Hurst finished 7th.
