Saints to host division championship on July 31
The Elrosa Saints are heading to regions again!
(HD video) Action from the July 8 meeting in Elrosa with Spring Hill from the bottom of the fifth inning.
The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team earned a spot in the Region 15C tournament with a 2-0 win today (July 30) over New Munich. The Silverstreaks had defeated Elrosa twice in the regular season series, winning 4-2 on May 15 in New Munich and then by a 2-0 score last Sunday (July 24) in Elrosa. Defensive errors by the Saints contributed to both losses, something they knew they had to clean up in order to punch a ticket to regions.
In the first meeting, Austin Imdieke and Austen Hadley pitched for Elrosa. In last Sunday's meeting, Ethan Vogt started and Hadley closed. Today Ethan Vogt pitched a complete game (seven strikeouts, six hits) for the Navy and Orange at New Munich and had a solo home run to boot! New Munich's Ty Reller was also terrific on the mound, giving up just three hits to go with nine strikeouts in a complete-game effort.
Elrosa scored first in the second inning when Cody Eichers made home on an error. Ethan Vogt's home run came in the seventh inning.
**Spread the word Saints fans! Elrosa hosts the Stearns County League North division championship game at 12 p.m. noon on Sunday, July 31. They will play No. 4-seeded Meire Grove, who upset the No. 1-seeded Spring Hill Chargers by an 8-7 score in today's other division opener.
