Fastpitch wins

The B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team built a 5-0 lead after two innings at Long Prairie-Grey Eagle and came home with a 15-13 win on Monday in non-conference action. Faith Radermacher was the winning pitcher with six innings of work. The Jaguars out-hit the Thunder by a 12-to-5 margin.

Next: the Jaguars host Paynesville Area today (Tuesday) at 4:30 p.m. in a conference game.

Last Friday at Eden Valley-Watkins, the Jaguars lost 16-6 in six innings and then fell 13-11 in a tough loss after the Eagles scored five runs in the top of the seventh inning to erase B-B-E's 11-8 lead.

Looking to next week, the Section 3A playoffs begin for the Jaguars on Tuesday, May 24. My guess is that B-B-E's Sub-Section 3A-North includes K-M-S, YME, MACCRAY, Benson, Dawson-Boyd, Ortonville and Lac qui Parle Valley.

I'm buried right now under over 300 pictures taken in both Terrace and Sunburg on Sunday. The day was busy and crazy from start to finish. Not much blogging time available for the next couple of days.

It appears that today's Central Minnesota Conference track and field championships at B-B-E high school will take place. This is great news considering that the forecast showed rain coming this afternoon. Right now (3 p.m.) it looks like just an outside chance of rain this afternoon but then clearing for the early evening hours.
