Fastpitch wins big vs. ACGC, baseball Jaguars come from behind for a W! (VIDEO)

This was an exciting sports night! Two B-B-E seniors each hit what the kids call "dingers"!...one hit two in fact...see below.

First...in fastpitch softball news...
Two big innings helped propel the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team to an 18-8 five-inning win against Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City tonight. The Jaguars led 7-1 after the first inning and then added five-spots in the second and fourth innings. B-B-E's lone run in the bottom of the third was a solo home run by Faith Radermacher.

Anna Jaeger had a tremendous day at the plate by going 4-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. In addition to her solo home run, Radermacher added an RBI-single. Brooklyn Fischer singled and doubled, and Kacey Fischer hit a three-RBI double in the bottom of the fourth that helped end the game in five innings. Freshman Mya Worms pitched all five innings with 6 strikeouts, 5 walks and 11 hits.

The Falcons entered the day on a four-game winning streak that included a sweep over Maple Lake last week.

Here's a video from the top of the fourth inning...Mya Worms struck out the batter to leave two Falcons stranded:


Next: the fastpitch Jaguars (5-5 overall) host Royalton this Thursday in a CMC doubleheader starting at 4 p.m. They face a grueling task to finish the week, as they host defending CMC champion Kimball Area on Friday in another doubleheader. The Jaguars need to continue picking up wins, as they are fighting with Benson and others for a top-four playoff seed in Sub-Section 3A-North.

In the CMC, the Jaguars are 3-3 overall. After they get through this week, they'll have 4 conference games remaining on the regular season schedule.

In baseball news...
At Kingery Field in Atwater, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team picked up a big Central Minnesota Conference win against the A-C-GC Falcons by a 13-9 score. They came back from a 6-2 deficit that stood on the scoreboard after four innings.

Luke Dingmann hit two home runs in today's game, which is a rare feat that I have not heard of in B-B-E history. The Jaguars (7-4 overall) were out-hit by a 12-to-9 margin, and four of A-C-GC's 9 hits were doubles. Dingmann's two home runs brought in a total of four RBI. Each team committed one error.

More to come later. I am still wrapping up at the vaping/opioids forum at B-B-E high school's Olson Auditorium.
