St. Michael's 15AAA Baseball Victories

St. Michael-Albertville baseball hosted a AAA tournament at the the weekend of Friendly City Days for 13, 14 and 15 year olds. The 15 year olds won their tourney going 5-0 overall.

In their first game against Osseo-Maple Grove, they went 12-2. The second pool game was against West Fargo and they went 2-1, winning in the bottom of the 7th.

For their bracket play they first beat Coon Rapids 1-0 in the bottom of the 7th, Anoka-Ramsey 13-5 and then Elk River 14-13 in extra innings.

The heat and brutal temps took a lot out of the boys last Sunday as they played three games, the final game of the day really got competitive.

Jaylen Hakes pitched the maximum allowed 7 innings for the Knights. 
The Knights had a lead most of the way but gave up some runs late in the game which forced the game into extra innings.  With two outs in the top of the 8^th Mitchell Erickson singled.  Jaylen Hakes followed with a single to drive Erickson in for what turned out to be the winning run.  Andrew Carbert came in the bottom of the 8^th for the Knights on the mound and was able to hold Elk River off from the Championship. 

Leading the way offensively for the Knights – Tyler Berg 4 for 6 with a double and a triple, Mitchell Erickson 4 for 5 with a triple, and Jaylen Hakes 3 for 4 with a double.

Thanks to Tracy Harbert for compiling scores and plays from the tournament.
