Saints win

The Elrosa Saints won 3-1 on Friday night against Spring Hill in a Stearns County League North division amateur baseball game. Ethan Vogt pitched all nine innings for the Saints and earned 11 strikeouts for the win. Elrosa led 3-0 after three innings, and the Chargers (8-5 SCL-North) scored their lone run in the top of the ninth.

Next: the Saints (7-5 SCL-North) travel to Richmond on Sunday, July 21 for a 1:30 p.m. game. The Royals are 9-3 in the SCL-South and lead second-place St. Martin by one-and-a-half games. It's a huge game for Elrosa, as they could clinch the No. 2 playoff seed from the division with a win.
