The next five days of July will provide some “Definable Moments” for the Red Birds and our fans. Here’s why.

STANDINGS ..

Over the weekend, the Red Birds lost a heartbreaker to Le Sueur Braves by a score of 4-3 in 12 innings. That gave Le Sueur an edge on the Red Birds in the Central Division standings for the time being. Then on Saturday, the Red Birds traveled to New Ulm and beat the Kaiserhoff by a score of 19-5 in 7 innings. That gave the Red Birds a 5-1 record against the West Division of the River Valley League. Yesterday, Le Sueur played Arlington A’s and LOST. That means that Le Sueur finished with a 4-2 record against the West Division.

Le Sueur currently has a record of 9-4 in the Central Division, and the Red Birds are 9-3, in second place behind Jordan at 11-0.

THEREFORE – If Chanhassen can beat both Jordan and Le Sueur this week, the Red Birds will host a first round game on Wednesday, July 25^th. The most important game is the Le Sueur game, because even with a loss to Jordan on Thursday, a win over Le Sueur on Friday gives Chanhassen the #2 seed for the playoffs.

GAMES THIS WEEK ..
