The last undefeated teams in the Stearns County League met for a great baseball game in Elrosa on Wednesday, June 29. The Elrosa Saints hosted the Farming Flames in a Little Dipper contest, in which the Flames overcame a 4-2 deficit in the third inning to come out with a 5-4 win.
Farming improves to 7-0 in the SCL standings, while the Saints fall to 5-1.
Elrosa trailed 2-1 after the first inning but scored three times in the bottom of the third. Will Van Beck led off with a single, and Blaine Fischer got him to second with a sacrifice bunt. Jackson Peter then drew a walk, and on ball four the ball sailed high as a wild pitch, allowing Van Beck to score from third base.
Luke Dehmer then crushed a two-RBI double deep to center field to put the Saints ahead 3-2. Ryan Schwinghammer then clubbed an RBI-triple to score Dehmer and put Elrosa ahead 4-2.
Farming then scored once in the top of the fourth and twice in the fifth and held on for the close win.
