Game day...is Tuesday

The baseball playoff game at Minnewaska Area high school will be aired on Smooth Magic 107 FM of Glenwood. First pitch against New York Mills is at 5 p.m. This is the winner's bracket final!! This game is HUGE! The winner gets a pass to the Section 6A championship series that will be played on Thursday also at MAHS. The loser will have to battle through the final game of the elimination bracket in Section 6A, with that game also on Thursday at MAHS (2:30 p.m.).

The Eagles are 18-3 overall and went 12-2 to take second place in a tough Park Region Conference that was won by Wadena-Deer Creek. They will undoubtedly have revenge on their minds, as B-B-E has ended their baseball season in 2016 and 2017. The Eagles were runners-up in Section 6A in 2015 and were champions and a state finalist in 2014 (second place at state after a 5-4 loss in the state title game to New Life Academy).

NYM took third place at state in 2013, fifth at state in 2012 (with just one loss overall) and went 0-2 at state in 2011.
