Elrosa vs. Regal amateur game (VIDEOS)

Elrosa's Saints amateur baseball team hosted Regal tonight in an exhibition border battle game under the mosquito-ridden stadium lights of Saints Field. The game was tied 2-2 until the Eagles put up a six-spot in the top of the sixth inning. Final: Regal 8, Elrosa 4.

I counted up and down the rosters of both teams and came to the total of 14 as the number of B-B-E graduates who were either on the Regal or the Elrosa rosters. A handful of B-B-E Class of 2022 graduates were not at the game but were instead tied up with graduation party-related activity with their peers.

My videocamera tripod is currently in the repair shop, so I'm working without a reliable and simple way to record video in steady fashion. I hope to get it fixed before next Tuesday's baseball games at Minnewaska Area.

B-B-E graduate Adrian Belden got the pitching win for Regal in a starting performance where he went six innings with a pitching line of five hits, two earned runs, four walks and six strikeouts. B-B-E graduate Peyton Winter was tagged with the loss after he pitched the first five innings. Jackson Peter was closer with four innings on the mound. Both Peyton and Jackson were teammates on the 2022 St. Cloud Technical and Community College Cyclones baseball team that competed in the NJCAA World Series.

Next: the Saints put their undefeated Stearns County League record on the line with a road game to bordering rival Greenwald tomorrow at 1:30 p.m.
