The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team won their third straight game after they beat visiting Spring Hill tonight by an 11-1 score in seven innings. Payton VanBeck, a 2019 B-B-E graduate, pitched the first six innings to get the win, with Wyatt Steffensen pitching the seventh frame. The Saints piled up 16 hits, including three each by Will VanBeck, Derek Wiener and Peyton Winter.
The game was close with Elrosa leading just 4-1 through five innings, but they poured on seven runs in the bottom of the seventh to end the game by the mercy rule.
Next: the Saints (11-1 Stearns County League North) host Richmond on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. to conclude the regular season. The division playoffs begin the following weekend.
