The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team traveled the short trip east to Greenwald and breezed through a shortened-innings win over the Cubs by a 16-3 margin.
Offensively, the Saints' performance was highlighted by a grand slam from 2010 Minnewaska Area high school graduate Mike Whittemore, as well as a three-run homer from B-B-E product Andy Mages.

Elrosa improves to 5-0 overall and 4-0 in the Stearns County League North, now having one win against all division opponents this season.
