Jaguars baseball wins playoff opener, shuts out Pillager

At Elrosa tonight in the opening round of the Sub-Section 5A-West tournament, the Jaguars baseball team vanquished #9 seed Pillager 3-0. Junior Brady Weller pitched a complete game and threw only 63 pitches in the process.

The Jaguars (8-12) now travel to Eden Valley-Watkins next week for the quarterfinal round on Monday, May 30. (Yes, on Memorial Day...it's not unprecedented and with a 5 p.m. start time, it shouldn't interfere with most weekend family plans either.)

Getting to eight wins marks the winningest season for Jaguar baseball since 2008, when they finished 15-5.

In the other play-in round game for the sub-section, #7 Royalton defeated #10 Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City 4-1.

More will follow later tonight.
