The B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team settled for a series split with Maple Lake today in a Central Minnesota Conference doubleheader. The Jaguars (10-7) host Benson on Monday in a non-conference game.
Game one: B-B-E 13, Maple Lake 11.
Game two: Maple Lake 14, B-B-E 8.
In the game two loss, the Jaguars had a rough going in the third and fourth innings, when the Irish outscored them 5-0. After two innings, Maple Lake held a 3-2 lead.
In the latest Section 4A standings, the fastpitch team has climbed to No. 4 out of 12 teams.
In Elrosa tonight, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team defeated Hancock 10-0 in 5 innings and then Browerville 10-0 in 5 innings. No kidding! It was an outstanding day for the Jaguars on the home diamond. Lance Radermacher pitched all 5 innings against Hancock, and Baron Breitbach pitched all 5 innings against Browerville. Both wins were against Section 6A opponents. Next: the Jaguars (11-7 overall) host Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City on Tuesday, May 12 in Elrosa. This will be their 12th CMC game of the season.
Sunday update:
In the latest Section 6A standings (as of Sunday, May 10), the Jaguars have climbed to No. 3 in the Section 6A rankings out of 15 total teams. This is remarkable. They have a way to go until playoffs, but the 11-7 record is an outstanding achievement this far with an incredibly young lineup made up mostly of 9th and 10th grade players.
