The BOLD Mudhens took a detour on their way to the Region 3 championship on Sunday in Fairfax.  Logan Sandgren's no-hitter against Hector in the first round of the tournament on Thursday set up a match up of the two top seeds in the tournament to see who would be the lone remaining undefeated team in the tourney field.  In the Saturday game, Sacred Heart-MACCRAY was able to get their "small ball" game in high gear and outlasted BOLD 7-6 in a game that ended with the tying and winning runs on base for BOLD.

The Mudhens then took out their frustrations on Hector for the second time in three days winning 14-4 and earning a rematch with the Scarlets of SH-MACCRAY on Sunday.  BOLD would have to win twice in order to advance to the District 7 Final Four.  That's just what they did getting a complete game 9-1 victory from Riley Kramer in the first game.  Then BOLD got a gutsy four inning starting performance by Sawyer Tersteeg, who hadn't been expected to play at all, in a 9-2 victory.

BOLD plays next in Montevideo in the District 7 Final Four at 7:45 Tuesday night against Osakis.
