Jaguar baseball earns No. 2 seed in Section 6A

The B-B-E Jaguars baseball team has earned the No. 2 seed in Section 6A for the upcoming postseason. The Jaguars open playoffs with a home game on Tuesday (tomorrow) at 5 p.m. in Elrosa. Their opponent will be Rothsay out of the Little Eight Conference. The Tigers, who are 0-16 overall, are the No. 15 seed.

The Jaguars finished the regular season with a 13-9 record. They settled in ahead of Brandon-Evansville (No. 3 seed and 18-2 overall) and Long Prairie-Grey Eagle (No. 4 seed and 14-4 overall) in the section pairings thanks in large part to wins against both teams. On Thursday last week at home, the Jaguars edged Prairie Conference champion LP-GE by a 2-1 score.

Two-time defending Section 6A champion Parkers Prairie is the top seed. The Panthers are 18-0 overall.

It's rough at the bottom of the section this year: the 12th to 15th seeds have a combined record of 6-59 overall.

The second round of section baseball games are on Thursday, May 28. I haven't looked that deep into the section bracket to deciphere what happens after Tuesday. I also have to go back and see what I have for baseball video. It has been a tough spring to get to high school baseball games.

Here's a video from Thursday in Braham:


The fastpitch team finished the season with a 12-10 overall record. Their postseason awards will be announced at a future time.
