Fastpitch Jaguars take close loss, then walk off Mustangs

An 8-5 loss was the outcome of the fastpitch playoff opener today in Forest Lake. Their opponent was No. 4-seeded Mayer Lutheran (11-7). The Jaguars move into the elimination bracket of Section 4A, and they play a second game today.

**Update: the Jaguars are playing BL-H-S in the elimination game right now.

I am at the subsection track and field meet in Litchfield. I'll post updates as much as possible.

**The fastpitch team is advancing in the playoffs! They walked off Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart 2-1 in 8 innings in the elimination bracket tonight. They are driving home from Forest Lake with a win.  

Next: at Braham (16-6) on Thursday this week at 4 p.m. against the No. 2 seeded Bombers. The Jaguars are 12-9 overall.

In track and field news...
At least three members of the B-B-E Jaguars track and field teams have qualified for the Section 5A meet, after they had terrific performances at the Sub-Section 5A-West meet in Litchfield. Moving on from subsections are Taylor Pieper (400), Laken Anderson (high jump) and Brooklyn Breitbach (1600). That's all I've got that is official.

The Section 5A track and field meet is next Wednesday, May 26 at Clemens Stadium in Collegeville.
