The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team lost 4-0 today at Spring Hill in the winner's bracket final of the Stearns County League North division playoffs. The Keg remains in Spring Hill's possession, and the playoff series during the auspice of the "Battle for the Keg" now stands in favor of Elrosa by a 5-3 margin.
Greenwald beat Meire Grove 8-1 in the elimination game of the SCL-North playoffs. Greenwald (6-9 SCL) travels to Elrosa (7-8 SCL) next Saturday (July 30) afternoon for a 1:30 game at Saints Field. The winner of that game goes to Region 15C and will also face Spring Hill (14-1 SCL) the next day in the SCL-North division playoff championship.
SCL-South division results on July 24:
Lake Henry 4, St. Martin 3 (14 innings! Lakers win on a suicide squeeze play)
Farming 4, Richmond 1 (Brad Mergen had 18 strikeouts and gave up one hit)
Out of the County Line League today...Regal lost their second playoff game of the 2011 season today, blowing a 6-3 lead in the eighth inning. Norway Lake-Sunburg plated four runs in the top of the eighth to grab the lead. The Lakers held on for a 7-6 win to advance in the postseason. Regal was eliminated with the loss.
Norway Lake-Sunburg, Paynesville and Starbuck remain alive. Atwater played New London-Spicer today in another elimination game, and I don't have the results from that action.
In a Little League playoff game, Elrosa was trailing 7-2 heading into the 7th inning tonight at Farming when I headed home. It is a Stearns County League quarterfinal playoff game. Final score: #1 seed Farming 7, #8 seed Elrosa 3.
Action from Farming tonight...
More will follow on Monday.
