With a 10-1 victory Saturday over the Plato Blue Jays and Sundays 3-2 victory over the Winsted Wildcats, the Waconia Lakers guaranteed themselves a place in the 2011 Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Class C Tournament being played in Brownton, Glencoe and Hutchinson starting August 19th.

Along with the winner of next Saturdays 4:00 Plato/Winsted game, Waconia will represent section 7C in the 32 team tournament. Class C is the largest of the 3 classes of teams. Waconia still plays Sunday at 1:00 against the winner of Plato/Winsted ( both games to be played in Watertown). Although they beat both teams this past weekend this game represents who goes in as the #1 seed and who is listed as the #2. Both teams will play Friday night Aug 19, one at 5:00, @ 7:30, in Glencoe against the two region 13C (Southwestern Minnesota) teams.
