The
Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team shut down New London-Spicer tonight 6-0 in the Elite State 8 tournament opener.
Payton VanBeck pitched a complete game where the defense held the Twins to just four hits.
Next: the Saints play at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night in the semifinals. In the loser's bracket with their sights set on the fifth-place game, NL-S plays Dawson at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
UPDATE: the Saints will play the Stillwater Loggers in the semifinals. On Saturday in the 10 a.m. game, the Loggers defeated the Dawson Drakes by a 7-6 score. In Friday night's night cap, the Fergus Falls canes defeated the Royalton Riverdogs by a 4-3 score. Exciting baseball!
