The Brewers swept rival Moorhead Miners in convincing fashion on Sunday to capture the West Central League Championship.
And boy was it a hot & muggy afternoon for a double header at McCormick Field with temps in the mid 90's. Battling the heat and humidity was tough not only for the players, but apparently for umpires as well. Both games featured a plethora of controversial calls, one of which led to the ejection of a Miners ballplayer.
Redhawks Call Up Jeremy PeschelTuesday, 17 July 2007 06:44 | Written by Brook Lyter | | |
The Brewers are without starting shortstop Jeremy Peschel for at least the immediate near future after Jeremy accepted a call from the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. The Redhawks are the defending champions of the Northern League and were looking to fill a need for a good utility infielder after losing a player to injury. Jeremy was thrilled to accept the challenge and was immediately inserted into the lineup in Winnipeg over the weekend. The Brew Crew wishes Jeremy the best of luck with the Redhawks!

The Brew Crew took two from the Moorhead Saints to open the 2007 West Central League Playoffs on Sunday at Teamster Field to conclude a long weekend of baseball, winning 4 out of 5 total games. Saturday's action in Nimrod, MN started with a loss to the Bemidji Mudcats (3-6) but the Brewers bounced back in the 2nd game of the afternoon against the Lakes Area Lightning with a 6-1 win behind the arm of Gabe Shockman. Gabe did not allow a hit through 6 innings, despite allowing 6 walks and Ryan Olson finished off the 7th inning to conclude the no hitter. The Brewers camped out in the Nimrod area and returned to the field Sunday morning to put a whipping on the Staples Legionnaires, 8-0. The weekend concluded with a double-header matchup with the Moorhead Saints back in Fargo. In the opener the Brewers scored early and often to back starting pitcher Brook Lyter as they easily topped the Saints 14-0. Kent Moser went 4 for 5 with a pile of rbi's. In the nightcap Andy Leraas took the hill and shut down the Saints again, 3-0. With the victories over the Saints the Brewers have now guaranteed a spot in the Regional playoffs.
