The Stearns County League teams played well this first weekend, taking one of three contests.  On Friday night, Richmond lost to a solid Avon club by a 3-0 margin.  Ethan Vogt's five-hitter led Elrosa to a 6-0 shutout of Loretto on Saturday.  And Spring Hill lost a heartbreaker on Sunday to Jordan, 3-2, in 13 innings.  (By the way State Board, what the heck is Jordan doing in Class C?  They've won several state titles at the B-level).

Two SCL teams are left as the tournament heads into its second weekend.  On Saturday, Elrosa battles Sobieski, 5:00pm at Delano.  And on Sunday, Lake Henry plays Bluffton, 7:30pm, also at Delano.  Best wishes to both the Saints and Lakers as they carry the torch for the SCL.
