On Sunday, the Saints host Meire Grove in a Stearns County League North clash.

Below I'm posting a couple updates that I received from managers from two of the SCL-North teams.

Greenwald's Rich Primus: Meier Grove defeated Greenwald by a score of 5 to 2. "This was anybody's game with the hits being even at 9 a piece. Leading Meier Grove was Shaun Meyer, Eric Marthalar and Jim Sieben with two hits a piece. Greenwald countered with 3 hits from Cody Imdieke, our lead-off hitter, and Dave Lensing with two hits. Matt Imdieke picked up the win going 6 innings and Ryan Klaphake recorded the save. Ryan did not give up a hit. Nick Rademacher took the loss going 7 innings, striking out four and only giving up one earned run. Nick struck out the side in the third inning. This was the first game of the season for us but I felt that we should of won this one. A couple of plays here and there and we could off had several more runs. We need to give our pitchers more run support. I feel we will be in the thick of the race by the end of the season though as our young team gets more confidence in themselves."

Meire Grove's Doug Meyer: Further info from the Grovers vs. Cubs game...
