Baseball team walk-off winners (VIDEO)


Just as they were on Monday in the Central Minnesota Conference opener, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team had their backs to the wall in Elrosa late in a game. This time the stakes were higher, however, as they were down to the last 3 outs while trailing by two runs. Visiting Maple Lake led 11-9 after the top of the eighth inning.

Final: B-B-E 12, Maple Lake 11 in 8 innings. The game lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes, and both teams combined for 8 errors as game temperatures hovered around 40 degrees. My minivan's thermometer read 41 degrees when the game concluded.

After the Jaguars posted a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second, the Irish plated four runs in the top of the third. The Jaguars cut the deficit to 4-3 after three innings, but the Irish scored twice in the top of the fourth. Down 6-3 in the fifth, the Jaguars scored 5 runs in the bottom of the inning only to see Maple Lake score three runs in the top of the sixth.

Trailing 9-8 going into the bottom of the seventh, the Jaguars scored the one run they needed to stay alive and force extra innings when Aiden Mueller drew a bases-loaded walk. Maple Lake then took an 11-9 lead with two runs in the eighth. B-B-E faced a new pitcher in the bottom of the eighth. Luke Dingmann, who hit a leadoff single, scored the first run on a wild pitch to make it an 11-10 game. Jordan Herickhoff then knocked a two-RBI single that sailed just out of the reach of the second baseman to earn the walk-off win as Ethan Mueller scored to tie it, and Luke Illies then slid across home base with the game-winning run.

Watch how the end of the game played out tonight in Elrosa...


Aiden Mueller got the pitching win in relief while throwing two innings. Ethan Mueller started and pitched four innings, and Brett DeRoo pitched the fifth and sixth innings. The Jaguars piled up 12 hits compared to 8 by the Irish. Earning two hits each were Brett DeRoo, Luke Dingmann, Ethan Mueller, Owen Paulson and Kaden DeRoo.

Next: the Jaguars (3-1 overall, 2-0 CMC) have a conference game scheduled next Tuesday on the road against Eden Valley-Watkins. The game site has not been verified, but as of now the schedule is showing Eden Valley.

No word yet out of Maple Lake, where the fastpitch team was playing a doubleheader against the Irish.

Thursday night update...the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team earned a big CMC series split at Maple Lake. In game one, the Jaguars won 16-3 in five innings and lost 20-9 in a wild seven-inning game. The doubleheader started out with a bang for the visiting Jaguars, who scored 11 runs in the top of the first inning in the opener. After the second inning, they expanded the lead to 14-0. B-B-E takes a 4-4 record (2-2 CMC) into next week's action. The next game scheduled is at home on Tuesday against an outstanding EV-W Eagles squad.

Across both games, the fastpitch Jaguars piled up 26 hits. Mya Worms pitched all five innings in the 16-3 win with five hits, four strikeouts and one walk. Worms started in game two and pitched 6 1/3 innings, with Faith Radermacher closing with 2/3 of an inning pitched. Overall, 11 of Maple Lake's 20 runs were earned in that second game.

Worms throws a no-hitter! Fastpitch blanks ACGC, baseball comes-from-behind for a W!


Tuesday night...this blog post was updated with two videos from the ACGC baseball game. Also, the scoreboard postings were cleaned up and added to...today we got a deluge of rain. It was very needed rain. I am calling it a "million dollar rain"!!

In a Central Minnesota Conference game against Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team faced the Falcons in Grove City today. Freshman Mya Worms started and threw a rare no-hitter. The Jaguars won 13-0 in five innings to square their record at 3-3 overall. This was the first no-hitter thrown by a B-B-E softball pitcher since May 17, 2012. On that day, then-senior Michelle Sanders threw a no-hitter against St. John's Prep in a 10-0 five-inning win.

In today's win at A-C-GC, Worms issued one walk and fired 10 strikeouts. B-B-E earned 10 hits, and 7 of their 13 runs were earned. Sophomore Kacey Fischer hit the first solo home run of her career, and Bree Radermacher went 3-for-4 with two singles, one double with one RBI. B-B-E improves to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in the CMC.

A-C-GC falls to 1-2 overall. They were runners-up in the CMC last year and have their eyes set on doing damage in the Section 4A playoffs...the last two games have been tough outings, however. After a 17-12 win against Minnewaska in their season opener, the Falcons dropped a 14-0, five-inning game to Eden Valley-Watkins last Thursday.

The next action is up in the air for this week, as we have some heavy rain in the forecast tomorrow. It is likely that the next action for fastpitch will be a road CMC doubleheader on Thursday at Maple Lake.

At Elrosa tonight, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team trailed 2-0 after the first inning and then 2-1 going into the sixth inning against Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City.

Just for fun! I dug back into my YouTube archives and found this...

This is a video clip from the 2012 fastpitch playoff opener in Brooten...


Michelle Sanders, B-B-E Class of 2012, pitched for the varsity team beginning in the 2008 season. In fact, the biggest pitching win of her career was in that 2008 season...she earned the win in the circle on May 22, 2008 as the Jaguars defeated No. 3-ranked Maple Lake 6-5 to claim the Sub-Section 5A-West championship at Minnewaska Area.

Exciting! So exciting!!! This is so awesome! With their backs to the wall as they were running out of outs against A-C-GC, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team plated three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to erase what was a 2-1 deficit. Final: B-B-E 4, A-C-GC 2. It puts them at 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the Central Minnesota Conference. Their next action is most likely this week Thursday in Elrosa for a CMC doubleheader against Maple Lake.

Against A-C-GC, the baseball team trailed 2-0 after 4 1/2 innings. In the bottom of the fifth, Ethan Mueller hit a one-out triple deep in left field after outrunning a cutoff throw that died in the grass in shallow left field. Luke Illies followed that with an RBI-single. Two were left stranded, however, on a strikeout and ground out. The Jaguars scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth by Ryan Jensen, Luke Dingmann and Ethan Mueller. Illies and Dingmann each had RBI hits in that inning. Kaden DeRoo got the win on the mound in relief, as the senior right hander pitched 5 1/3 innings with no hits, no runs, five walks and six strikeouts.

Here's a video from the bottom of the fourth inning in Elrosa:


Here's a video from the bottom of the fifth inning...the Jaguars plated one run, but they got robbed on a call at first base...


More to follow later...I need to have supper.

In the last bit of sports I've got to report on tonight, junior high boys' and girls' golf team members competed at The Lynx National golf course in Sauk Centre today. This was the official start of the golf season...although the varsity team (boys' golf) won't open their season until Wednesday or Thursday this week depending on the weather. I had to break away from the baseball game in Elrosa to try and catch the end of the golf meet 11 miles north...there I caught up with Coach Gary Rodgers as he brought the two girls' golf team members to the club house. Rodgers reported that five boys golfed plus two girls at The Lynx from B-B-E. I have two scores to report: seventh grader Olive Olson shot a 63, and eighth grader Marlie Schlangen shot a 70. These were two outstanding scores considering they are both first-year golfers! Rodgers mentioned that one of the junior high girls' golfers at the meet shot a 52, which is rather impressive at that level.

And some sad news...a member of the B-B-E Hall of Fame has passed away. Charles Sagedahl, Brooten Class of 1948, passed away on Saturday, April 13. He was inducted into the B-B-E Hall of Fame as a Brooten Buccaneer student-athlete with the HOF Class of 2021. You can read his obituary in the April 18 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper. As long as I live, one of the most special memories I'll always cherish was when one of my daughters and one of her friends enjoyed time on the front porch of Chuck Sagedahl's Brooten home on Halloween night of 2022. The girls both told me it was really great to hear him whistling and humming a tune as they walked up to get candy and then walked to the next home. It was a "You had to be there" moment on Crow Lake Street! We already miss Chuck. He was one of a kind.

B-B-E athletics names new head volleyball coach (VIDEO)



Brittany (Roelike) Borgerding, No. 17, high fives her teammates Taylor Gregory (14) and Becca Gruber during her final volleyball match played as a Jaguar on November 3, 2012 at Pierz high school.


The player turned teacher and assistant coach is now the head coach!

Last Monday at the B-B-E school board meeting, Class of 2013 graduate Brittany (Roelike) Borgerding was named the B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team's seventh head coach in program history. Coach Borgerding has been an assistant coach with the program since the fall of 2020. She is a staff member of the school's Jaguar Kids Connection, and in 2020-2021, she was one of three first grade teachers in the elementary school. Her husband is Ben Borgerding, also a B-B-E graduate, who is an elementary and middle school STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) teacher in Paynesville.

Here's Coach Borgerding singing the National Anthem during her junior volleyball season:


On that night (September 26, 2011), the Jaguars hosted MACCRAY in a non-conference match but lost by a 3-1 score. The Wolverines went 21-8 that fall and lost a 5-set barn burner to Minneota in the Sub-Section 3A-North championship. The Vikings later took third place at the state tournament with a 28-7 final record. B-B-E stormed through the sub-section playoffs before suffering one of the toughest playoff losses I've witnessed. In game five of the Section 5A finals, the Jaguars lost 15-12 to Nevis. The Nevis Tigers went to state and beat Minneota in a 3-2 match before falling 3-0 in the state finals to Class 1A juggernaut Bethlehem Academy of Faribault. In that 3-2 win over Minneota, the Tigers beat the Vikings 15-13 after winning game four 28-26.

In B-B-E's loss to Nevis in the 2011 Section 5A finals, the Jaguars had the upper hand after winning 25-17 in game two and 25-21 in game three. The tables turned in a big way in game four, however, as Nevis was unstoppable in a 25-8 win. Game five was topsy-turvy the whole way. I'll never forget how tough that loss was. It was brutal.

B-B-E's previous head coaches were as follows (beginning with the first one): Donna Hurst (1988-1989), Carrie Halvorson (1989-1998), Mimi Knutson (1999-2006), Kevin Weller (2007-2018), Steve Waddell (2019) and Alanna Hunter (2020-2023). Coach Donna Hurst, who retired from B-B-E in 2014, had two outstanding teams in 1988 and 1989, with the Jaguars going 18-6 in her last season before she turned the reigns over to Coach Halvorson in 1990. The past 5 B-B-E volleyball coaches all coached at least one sub-section championship team. Needless to say, the bar has been set quite high for B-B-E volleyball dating back to the first year Coach Halvorson's teams advanced to a subsection title match (1994).

In August 2020, I had an announcement posted when Coach Borgerding was hired to the first-grade position...you can read more about here by clicking here: https://bbejaguars.blogspot.com/2020/08/jaguar-standout-moves-to-classroom.html. This afternoon, I found more notes in my archives on Coach Borgerding. The notes say she was not only B-B-E's Triple-A nominee, but she then earned the District 20 Triple-A award.

In her career, Borgerding earned 1,053 digs and 964 kills. In her senior season, she earned 352 kills. In that fall of 2012, head coach Kevin Weller had 9 seniors on the roster (8 players, 1 student manager) when they were champions of the Central Minnesota Conference, Sub-Section 5A-South and runners-up in Section 5A. As a junior, Borgerding earned All-State Honorable mention.

A big win, and a gut-wrenching loss (VIDEOS)


Although they were both non-conference outings, two big games were played tonight.

In Regal for the B-B-E Jaguar baseball team's home opener, the visiting Class 2A Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg Fighting Saints erased a 7-1 deficit with 6 runs in the top of the seventh inning. Closer Luke Illies coaxed just what he needed to get out of a jam and get his team to the batter's box. In the bottom of the seventh, a roller that got under the third baseman on a fielder's choice by Kaden DeRoo scored the game-winning run by Ryan Jensen.

Final: B-B-E 8, K-M-S 7. The Jaguars are 1-1 heading into Monday's home game against Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City. That game is scheduled to be played at Saints Field in Elrosa.

*Here's a video after the game-winning run was scored by Ryan Jensen:


Here's a video from the top of the sixth inning featuring starter Ethan Mueller on the mound:


At Browerville tonight, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team erased a 4-1 deficit in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game. The Tigers came back to tie it and send it into extra innings. Heartbreak struck hard for the Jaguars, though, as the Tigers scored a game-winner for a walk-off 5-4 win in the bottom of the ninth. The Jaguars were ohhh-so-close to improving to 3-2 on the season. That hurts! They out-hit the Tigers 13 to 10 and committed just one error with just three strikeouts at the plate all game. Four of B-B-E's 13 hits were doubles, while Browerville had no extra-base hits.

Browerville improved to 3-0 overall with the win.

Next: the fastpitch Jaguars travel to Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City on Monday to resume Central Minnesota Conference action.

That's all for now. We are packing up for a weekend in the Twin Cities for my wife's continuing education training tomorrow and Sunday.

Fastpitch battles to the end in loss to Bulldogs (VIDEO); baseball takes tough loss


In the Central Minnesota Conference opener for both teams, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team gave a terrific effort all night before losing 6-3 to visiting Paynesville Area. The Bulldogs led 2-0 after three innings and extended that to 5-0 in the top of the fifth.

The Jaguars scored once in the bottom of the sixth inning and then twice more in their final at bat.

Each team had 5 hits, with Paynesville earning the game's lone extra-base hit. The Bulldogs had 4 errors, while the Jaguars had two. Earning hits for the Jaguars were Kenna Lieser, Faith Radermacher, Kacey Fischer, Mya Worms and Lydia Primus.

Paynesville Area improved to 1-1 overall. They lost 12-2 in six innings on Tuesday this week at Melrose in their season opener. The Dutchmen are 3-0 so far this season; they swept Minnewaska Area in a West Central Conference doubleheader last Friday on the road to start their season.

Next: The fastpitch Jaguars (2-2) have a tough game at Browerville tomorrow. The Tigers were runners-up a year ago in Section 6A.

The weather conditions were windy and generally on the cool side. The sun poke out from behind clouds a few times and warmed things up. Overall, it was a tough game to shoot. My lone video is uploading.

Video from tonight in the top of the fourth inning:


More to come! I have not heard a final score out of Parkers Prairie for the baseball opener.

Heartbreak in Parkers Prairie...while it's somewhat inconsequential with playoffs "a light year" away...tonight's outcome at Parkers Prairie was a tough one to swallow. After posting a 5-0 lead through three innings, the No. 6-ranked B-B-E Jaguars baseball team lost a 7-6 score with the No. 7-ranked Panthers winning in walk-off fashion. Parkers Prairie scored all seven runs in their final at bat. In one exciting moment in the game, senior Luke Dingmann hit a two-run home run in his first at bat tonight.

Dingmann, Kaden DeRoo and Ethan Mueller had two hits each. Jordan Herickhoff drew three walks and scored one run, and Owen Paulson had a two-RBI triple.

Next: the baseball Jaguars are excited for their home opener tomorrow (Friday) in Regal, where they'll host a border battle with Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg. First pitch at Buddy Beier Stadium is at 4:30 p.m.

Track and field season gets underway; fastpitch earns second win (VIDEO)


I've posted a light update at the bottom of this blog post on Wednesday night...

We had a successful night in Jaguar Country!! The evening included a rare double rainbow stretching high over the Bonanza Valley to top things off.

In their home opener, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team improved to 2-1 by defeating non-conference MACCRAY 12-2 in five innings. They hit the ball well and are moving in the right direction as they prepare for the Central Minnesota Conference opener. The Jaguars host Paynesville Area on Thursday this week at 4:30 p.m. This marks the first time in 14 years that the Jaguars have started 2-1. In 2010, they lost their opener before earning back-to-back wins.

On Friday, the fastpitch team travels to Browerville. The Tigers are 1-0 after defeating defending Prairie Conference champion Upsala 2-1 on Tuesday on the road. That game was a rematch of last year's Section 6A championship, which Upsala won on their way to a fourth-place finish at the state tournament.

The B-B-E Jaguars track and field teams got their competition schedule underway with a home meet tonight that included six other schools. Temperatures flirted with 60 degrees at times as the sun shined around a handful of clouds.

Here's a video with one of the 100 open race heats tonight:


The track and field teams have over a week off from competition now to hone their skills and continue working on conditioning. Their next meet is on Thursday, April 18 at Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City.

More to come...

Wednesday night update: please click over to the Bonanza Valley Voice website to see important information for residents of Brooten: https://t.ly/oduQB. I've got a light Goat Ridge Brewing Co. story posted at the Business article section, which you can find by clicking here: https://www.bonanzavalleyvoice.com/section/business.

Also...the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team opens the season on Thursday at Parkers Prairie. Their home opener follows the next day, when they host a border battle with Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg at the Regal diamond. First pitch is at 4:30 p.m. from Buddy Beier Stadium.
