tj-082710-1-wThe Moorhead Brewers successfully advanced past the first 2 elimination rounds at state (for the first time since the 3rd place run in 2004) and now look forward to playing a lot of good baseball over Labor Day Weekend...The team goal is nothing less than a State Championship title. The fun starts Friday evening at 6:00pm in Bird Island against the Sacred Heart Saints who have advanced by beating St. Martin, Belle Plaine, and Lastrup. The only Sacred Heart opponent the Brewers have played is Belle Plaine, which was an early season loss for the Brewers back on May 22nd. The Saints sport a season record of 29-13 and appear to be a tough opponent for the Brew Crew. The Brewers bats have been on fire in the state tourney having scored 30 runs on 40 hits in just 3 games. The first 3 games at state the Brewers have advanced in different ways: 10-run mercy rule (Bertha), pitcher's duel (Keith Meyers-Hampton), and come-from-behind 9th inning victory (Big Lake). What's next?
