A return to varsity action after a three-year hiatus was a success for the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars fastpitch team.
On Tuesday (April 12) this week, the Jaguars hosted the Upsala Cardinals on the home diamond at the elementary school. Upsala had an early 3-2 lead before the Jaguars jumped ahead with leads of 5-3 and 9-6.
In the top of the sixth inning the Cardinals plated three runs to tie it at 9-9. The Jaguars responded by scoring six times in the bottom of the sixth. In the top of the seventh, the Cardinals scored three runs before starting pitcher Cassandra Tensen coaxed a ground ball and a pop fly to end the game.
B-B-E had six fielding errors, while Upsala had four errors. The Jaguars out-hit the Cardinals by an 11-10 margin.
Next for the Jaguars is a home game on Thursday against Holdingford. It will also be the Central Minnesota Conference opener.
