“The boys were busy this past week playing four games in four days,” said coach Tom Schiltz. “Overall it was a successful one. After a rough start in St. Clair on Tuesday, we were lucky to come out of there with a 13-13 tie. Too many walks and errors created a nasty game on our part. We bounced back on Wednesday against Waseca Legion, and pitched much better with Trey and Dempsey on the mound. We also had three double plays in this game; very impressive. It was nice to see the team didn't let the previous game get them down. Thursday was our first home game in a while and it was another sound pitching performance. Palmer was around the strike zone the entire time he was in there. It was a nice performance, as it was his first start of the season. Luke came in and pitched an effective outing in relief. Friday, we traveled to Albert Lea for another make up game to finish off the week. Eli was in control the whole time he was on the mound. Eli was throwing strikes and Albert Lea was having a hard time hitting it. Dempsey finished the game with another sound performance.”
