Today's playoff game at 2:30 p.m. at Chizek Field in Morris will be aired on Smooth Magic 107 FM of Glenwood. (Thanks, Brady!) Our No. 3-seeded B-B-E Jaguars baseball team takes on No. 2-seeded Upsala/Swanville Area in the first round of the double-elimination portion of the Section 6A tournament. If they win, the Jaguars play again in the same location at 4:30 p.m. against No. 1-seeded Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg.
More to come, including updates.
Game update: against Upsala/Swanville Area, the Jaguars are sitting in a 1-1 tie after three innings are complete. B-B-E took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, but the Patriots tied it in the bottom of the frame. B-B-E's Ashton Dingmann is our starter.
**UPDATE! the Jaguars scored two runs in the top of the fifth inning to forge a 3-1 lead over U/SA.
**UPDATE through six innings: the lead remains at 3-1 for B-B-E after six innings are in the book. B-B-E's defense had a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the sixth.
Video to be soon posted. **A new blog post will include the final score.
**Here's video from the end of the playoff game on Tuesday in Elrosa, including the post-game huddle with assistant coach Ben Klaphake addressing the team:
The second game today should start at about 4:45 p.m. in Morris, and it won't begin before 4:30. The Jaguars would play K-M-S if they beat U/SA. If the Jaguars lose, they get a bye to advance in the elimination bracket. This is due to a forfeit by Border West.
