Elrosa repeats as Elite 8 champions!

The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team is repeat champions of the Elite 8 tournament. They defeated New London-Spicer 4-2 in the championship game tonight. The Saints scored three runs in the bottom of the first to help set up the win. Ethan Vogt pitched a complete game win with five hits, no walks and five strikeouts. He surrendered one earned run, while the Twins gave up three earned runs that proved the difference.

The motto of the weekend was "Great baseball, great weather, and great bonfires!"

NEXT: the Saints (9-2-1 overall) host St. Wendel this Friday, June 23 at 7:30 p.m. They resume Stearns County League action two days later on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. against Lake Henry.

That's all for now. I have to get back in the garden to finish planting a late crop of sweet corn before I lose all my natural light!
