Here's video from the bottom of the ninth inning when Elrosa hosted New Munich last Friday night in a Stearns County League North amateur baseball game.
It is well worth mentioning the incredible back-to-the-plate, running pop fly catch that center fielder Kevin Kuefler made in the top of the seventh inning. The Silverstreaks were ahead 2-0 and threatened to extend the lead when they got two runners on base with no outs. It was a game-changing play, and while it did not lead to an Elrosa win, it kept the game close and exciting all the way to the end.
The sports department at the Bonanza Valley Voice has taken a beating in the past months...there has been a great deal of other types of news taking place, such as the Big Grove Lutheran church 150th anniversary last weekend. It has drained the sports department of precious resources in terms of time and energy.
We'll see how August goes! There are multiple events taking place with the Catholic church that will consume much of the news department's time. All worth celebrating!! It's great to be a part of the rich quality of life we have here in the Bonanza Valley!
*Don't forget! On Saturday the Elrosa Saints begin the division playoffs with a home contest at 1:30 p.m. against No. 4-seeded Meire Grove. Be there or be square! It will be nice to take in that game and then head north to the Stearns County Fair in Sauk Centre. (See the full fair schedule in this week's Voice!)
