The Brewers have qualified for the playoffs in the NABA World Series in Phoenix. The Brewers survived a battle with the Colorado Springs Brewers (5-4) and finished with a record of 3-1-1, good enough for the #8 seed in the 8-team single-elimination tournament. Todd Fuller gave the team a great effort on the mound, throwing 8-1/3 innings and Ryan Greene came in to pick up the save with runners in scoring position and 1 out.
Ironically, the Brewers will face the L.A. Bruins in a rematch of the first game of the series, when the Brewers handed the L.A. their only loss so far. The Bruins are the defending champions and one of the top ranked amateur teams in the country, so the team is excited for the challenge of beating them again.

The Brewers are once again sponsoring a team in the 18+ wood bat division of the NABA World Series in Phoenix. The 18+ wood bat has 18 teams this year and is considered the top division as there is no roster limitation on players with professional status. This year's team has been bolstered by several all-star players including Zach Femrite (Cold Spring Springers), Ryan Seifert and Justin Johnson (Chaska), Scott Hollingsworth (Jordan), Ryan Greene (Mankato) and Sam Rothstein (St. Martin). Aaron Olson (Shakopee) returns from last year's squad and teammate Curt Hartfiel is joining as well. The Brewers got a tough pool draw and will play two of the top amateur teams in the country back-to-back on Thursday (LA Bruins and NY/NJ Whitesox). The Brewers look forward to competing and having a good showing for Minnesota Baseball as they are the only squad from the upper midwest. The schedule has the Brewers playing at Goodyear Stadium (home of the Indians and Reds spring training) on Friday morning. Watch for updates and photos! Hanska Defeats BrewersSaturday, 05 September 2009 20:16 | Written by Blackjack | | |
 The Brewers '09 campaign came to end in the sweet sixteen round 2 of the MN State Class "C" Tournament. The team hoped to come out on top in this must-win situation to stay alive and reach the double-elimination round. Hanska proved to be a tough opponent, jumping to an early 6-0 lead. The Brewers attempted a comeback. Josh Dietz hit a 2-run HR to get the team within 3 runs in the 6th, but ultimately the team could not hold Hanska in check. The Brewers were disappointed to suffer an unusual lopsided defeat.State Tournament Round 1Sunday, 23 August 2009 20:18 | Written by Blackjack | | |
 The Brewers held off Wilmont in the first round of the 2009 MN State Tournament, the squad's first state tournament win since 2004. Jason Brueske singled the first run in for the Brewers, and Chris Clemenson hit a 2-run HR on a full count in the 3rd inning to give the Brewers the lead for good. Gabe Schockman held Wilmont to 2 runs through 8 innings and Mike Peschel struck out 2 batters to close the ninth inning. The Brewers advance to Round 2 (Friday 8:30pm in Gaylord) and will face a Hanska team who defeated Milroy. Read more to see the box score and play-by-play details.

After 4 games, the Brewers record stands at 2-1-1 (tie due to time limit). The team got off to a great start with a comeback win against the defending champion LA Bruins, then settled for a very disappointing tie against the NY/NJ Whitesox after being up 7-2 late in the game. On Saturday, the Brewers were up 2-1 going into the 9th inning but the So Cal Ballers made a comeback and stole the game. Game 2 on Saturday the Brewers cruised past the AZMitch.com Twins 5-2. Today the Brewers play the Colorado Springs Brewers in a must-win situation to make the playoffs. If the team wins they will make the playoffs and play at 7pm...
