Baseball Jaguars earn CMC split; fastpitch falls to conference leaders (VIDEO)

In a road doubleheader on Thursday, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team earned a Central Minnesota Conference series split with Kimball Area. In game one, the Jaguars were stung in the bottom of the 9th inning in a 7-6 loss. They rebounded with a 4-3 win in the nightcap. Jace Mueller started and pitched 6 2/3 innings for the win, and Cameron Loe closed for the save while earning the final out after giving up two hits, one walk but no runs.

Also on Thursday, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team lost two games to Kimball Area in a doubleheader at home. The first game resulted in a 12-0 loss, and the Cubs won game two 13-2.

Here's a video from the top of the 3rd inning in game two against Kimball:


Kimball Area is 13-2 overall after the sweep; they were coming off of their first loss of the season, which occurred on Tuesday this week by a 4-0 score at Annandale. They are 10-0 in the CMC and locked up at least a share of the title - which is a rare feat to pull off in the month of April in high school fastpitch. Eden Valley-Watkins is currently in second place with a 6-4 CMC record (8-4 overall).

Annandale is 11-4 overall and currently ranked No. 17 in Class 2A in the QRF rankings out of 120 total teams in that class. In Section 6AA, Kimball Area is currently in second place behind undefeated (11-0) St. Cloud Cathedral.

Lots to catch up on today! The B-B-E Jaguars girls' golf team is competing in a CMC meet today hosted by Royalton at Little Falls. That's all for varsity action today.
