This has been successful, but tough baseball season for Coach Keven Larson.
The Minneota Vultures were handed five walks by Canby pitcher Evan Stoks and he and his teammates committed seven errors.
That's 12 baserunners.
Here is the Section 7 American Legion baseball pairings:
Cottonwood won the play-in game over Dawson 6-4 on Wednesday, then beat No. 1-ranked Montevideo, 9-3 to advance to the semifinals of the District 7 American Legion Baseball Tournament.
Radio announcer and former Madison (Lac qui Parle Valley) Coach Dick Newman said, "That's why you keep coming back to the ballpark, in hopes you'll see something new. Tonight we did!"
"We beat their best," said Minneota Manager Tyson Sonnenburg after the Minneota Mudhens beat Montevideo Wednesday night, 4-2.
Minneota’s drive to stay on top of the league in the Land O’ Ducks feel apart last week when, like the sun baking the parched summer crops, the Mudhens entered a “run drought”.
The third/fourth grade summer recreation baseball team played Lakeview Tuesday night. One of the highlights was this home run by Minneota’s Riley Wambeke.
The Minneota Vultures Jr. Legion baseball team had a rough week. In two games, they made 21 errors, losing Friday at Sacred Heart to RCW/MACCRAY, 11-10 and Tuesday to the Marshall VFW, 11-5.
