Next: the Jaguars play in an elimination game of the Section 6A tournament next Tuesday, June 7 at 2:30 p.m. at Minnewaska Area high school. Spread the word!!! B-B-E's opponent will be the Sub-Section 6A-North fourth-seeded Parkers Prairie Panthers.
Time to head out of Mo-town and go home.
UPDATES:
I see that New York Mills handed Ashby a 15-3 loss in a winner's bracket game of the Section 6A tournament. Next Tuesday in another Section 6A elimination game, Upsala/Swanville Area will take on Ashby at 2:30 p.m. at Minnewaska Area. The Jaguars need to win in their game to keep their season alive. If they win, the Jaguars play again at 4:30 p.m. at the same location against the U/SA vs. Ashby winner.
**Here's video from the end of the bottom of the fifth inning, with Will VanBeck sealing a strikeout against K-M-S for the third out:
It was a very, very windy game!
Now is as good of a time as any to congratulate two former B-B-E Jaguar baseball players who now play with the St. Cloud Technical and Community College Cyclones baseball team: Jackson Peter and Peyton Winter. The Cyclones recently won the North Plains District title to advance to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) World Series tournament. They beat Rochester Community College 12-4 and then 14-11 in the championship series on May 20-21. At the NJCAA World Series, the Cyclones lost in the opening round by a 3-2 score to No. 1-seeded Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute in Greeneville, TN. They proceeded to win two elimination bracket games, first by a 6-3 score over Niagara County Community College and then by a 11-3 score over Oakton Community College. The dream season ended on Tuesday this week (May 31) when STCC lost 4-0 to Caldwell to finish the season 26-13 overall.
Jackson Peter is a 2020 graduate of B-B-E, while Peyton Winter is a 2021 graduate. The NJCAA World Series was played at Pioneer Park at Tusculum University.
