Back-to-back wins! Jaguar baseball lives to fight another day (VIDEOS*)

What an incredible day at Marthaler Field! The B-B-E Jaguars baseball team kept their season alive and is one of just 3 teams left standing in the Section 6A tournament. Wins by scores of 5-2 over Long Prairie-Grey Eagle and then 4-2 against Breckenridge puts them in the loser's bracket final.

NEXT: B-B-E (17-10) plays at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, at Marthaler Field. Their opponent will be two-time defending section champion Parkers Prairie. Please spread the word! This will be the third game in a row where the Jaguars will try to end a team's season. The odds are a mix, considering that the Panthers are the No. 1-ranked team in the state. We know the Jaguars will be ready. With just one senior starter, they can play loose and with no pressure whatsoever.

In today's first game: B-B-E 5, LP-GE 2
The Thunder had 5 hits to 6 by B-B-E, and both teams left 4 runners stranded. Both teams scored 2 runs in the first inning, but the Jaguars took a 4-2 lead with 2 runs scored in the bottom of the third. They added an extra run in the fifth, and starter Jace Mueller pitched an incredible complete game with 6 strikeouts against 5 hits and 3 walks.

In the second game: B-B-E 4, Breckenridge 2
In another nailbiter, the Jaguars out-hit the Cowboys by a 5-to-4 margin, and both teams committed one error each. The Jaguars put themselves in the driver's seat with 3 runs scored in the bottom of the 6th inning. Senior Cameron Loe pitched an outstanding complete game four-hitter with one earned run, no walks and 4 strikeouts.

The game was marred early when a Breckenridge fan was ejected by base umpire James Cortez in the bottom of the first inning. Credit to Cortez for sending a message right away!

Here's a video from the Breckenridge game with Cameron Loe pitching:


That video was recorded in the top of the 4th inning.

Let's get a big crowd to Minnewaska Area tomorrow!
