We are deep into the Section 6A tournament with a huge game taking place this afternoon...which will be followed by another huge game depending on this game's outcome! Our B-B-E Jaguars baseball team is taking on Long Prairie-Grey Eagle at 2:30 p.m. in Clarissa. This is an elimination bracket final. The loser is done, while the winner advances to the Section 6A championship series.
I am struggling to come up with any radio coverage. The Long Prairie station of 99.7 FM is playing music as of 2:30 p.m. Grrr!! Almost as bad: their main radio station's Facebook page was last updated on June 17, 2023. Good Lord. Their AM station, which can be heard on 103.1 FM, is also playing music as of 2:30 p.m.
UPDATE: I got someone on the phone from the KEYL radio station, and they confirmed that the 2:30 game is not on the radio. It's rather unbelievable that their town's station is not carrying the game. Clarissa is a pretty short drive north from Long Prairie. LP-GE is in the top three of the section tournament. I didn't ask the gentleman why. Perhaps it's staffing or just plain economics, but it's remarkably disappointing that they can't carry a postseason game of a local team that's deep into a section tournament.
GAME UPDATES! in the top of the third inning against LP-GE, our Jaguars hold a 5-1 lead. Fingers crossed! As expected, the wind is a mighty challenge here in Clarissa. Their diamond is on the western edge of town.
**After 4 innings, the Jaguars hold an 8-1 lead.
The Thunder score two runs in the top of the fifth inning to cut it to 8-3. **Catch the final score and more in a NEW blog post after 4:30 p.m.
