State amateur baseball update

In their state tournament opener, Region 15C champion Lake Henry defeated Young America 7-1 on Saturday afternoon in Hamburg. Lake Henry's bats were hot, as the Lakers out-hit the Cardinals by a 15-7 margin.

Jordan defeated Maple Lake 4-3 in the other side of the bracket, so Elrosa faces the Brewers next Saturday in the Sweet 16. Jordan went ahead 4-1 with a three-run bottom of the third inning, and they rode their defense the rest of the way. Jordan's starter, Mitch Bockenstedt, fired 10 strikeouts in six innings of work to get the win.

By the way, here's a Twitter link that shows video of Ethan Vogt's grand slam home run in the Pelican Rapids game last weekend: https://twitter.com/MinnBaseball/status/899369936505778176.

How awesome is that!
