legion and town ball tourneys

[glenn57]

i heard the state tourney for town ball is in shokapee is this correct? also i kinda heard some resule on the legion tourney anyone know anything more. is it over, what. the paper in my area is not a good source of info unless its the river bats.

[hamrej23]

Yeah Legion tourney was this past weekend

[HossFisher]

The town ball state tournament is starting this weekend and runs all the way through labor day. The two host sites are Chaska and Shakopee. The legion tourney already over with and was this past weekend. A surprising Eastview team made the run though district and the state tournament without losing a game to take home the hardware. Eden prairie came all the way through the losers bracket playing 8 games in 4 days to take 2nd. I believe edina took third.

didnt cold spring win a title also? thought i seen a tiny article, not sure.

[HossFisher]

Im not so sure about that, I think cold spring might play division 2. I dont know as much about that tournament but i do know that Jordan won the state title for the fourth year in a row.

[PierBridge]

Yep C Champs again!

[hamrej23]

Yep Jordan Won

[Munk]

Yes, Cold Spring won the State VFW Tournament in Perham last weekend..... Excellent 4 days of baseball.. All the teams lookedgood, was a matter of who could hit the ball timely and have the least errors, (which killed our team, 3 errors but all allowed runs to score)

[HossFisher]

I dont understand why jordan doesnt move up to Legion 1. They slaughter all the teams in the lower division. I think it would be more to there benefit to actually play quality teams.

I don't know for sure, but I think the placing of teams as far as sections or whatever depends on the towns population.

[glenn57]

so, is it just our local paper that refuses to cover these tournaments other than a tiny piece down in the corner or does it happen all over? some time back i called the st cloud times to tell them that they should do a story on the state ameater tourney. it was labor day, the day to decide the champs. ok 4 teams and one family had 4 members of its family, 3 brothers and a son-inlaw, playing for 3 different teams playing for the championship and they didnt do a story. whats up with that! i thought it was news worthy.

In the first game at chaska last night fergus falls beat Detroit Lakes in 11 innings and the second game was 0-0 in the bottom of the 5th between Midway and Carlos when i left.

[glenn57]

[bassNspear]

[glenn57]

[bradyd]

Got to give props to Randolph from the class C tournament. They lost their first game and are done but they did qualify for state after going 0 and 26 last year!! The biggest turnaround that I've ever heard of.

[HossFisher]

Wow thats one heck of a turnaround!

[bassNspear]

Wow, that is a great turn around. Can you imagine playing for a team like that. Good for them
