Up against a team with a 20-4 record this year, Elrosa did not back down one bit and played just as solid of an all-around game as they did last week and had the score deadlocked at 0-0 through six innings of play. In the end they fell prey to an outstanding pitcher, Tyler Jendro, a graduate of Southwest Minnesota State-Marshall.
The Skis scored once in the 7th and twice in the 8th while keeping the Saints' bats almost silent down the stretch while punching their ticket to the Class C Sweet Sixteen round.
Below, action from the 5th inning when Elrosa got a nice rally going...
Elrosa finishes the year with a fine 13-8 record and very high hopes for another great season in 2014.

In other news...I just saw D-Mac's Fall 2013 broadcast schedule. Guess where he'll be for the season-opening football game? Yep, that's right...the B-B-E high school football complex. He's got the call for B-B-E vs. LP/HT football this Friday night, August 30. Kickoff is at 7:00pm. I am hoping for an overflow crowd!! Wouldn't that be special!!!!!!
