Albert Lea Tribune: Tigers take down Rockets

Published 3:16am Friday, April 26, 2013

A.L. uses 3-run 5th inning to build lead

In its home opener Thursday, the Albert Lea baseball team beat the defending Big Nine Conference champs 4-2.

“The kids rose to the challenge,” Albert Lea head coach Joe Sczublewski said. “This was a nice win for us.”

Rochester John Marshall jumped to a 1-run lead in the third inning, but Albert Lea fought back in the fourth. Makael Lunning started a positive trend for the Tigers with a lead-off single. Lunning found his way back to home plate with an RBI single by Wyatt Paulsen. The score was tied at one headed into the fifth inning. Albert Lea pitcher Johnathan Fleek held the Rockets’ batting order in check in the top of the inning, and the Tigers exploded with three runs in the bottom of the inning.

Albert Lea’s Luke Arnold started the fireworks with a single to center field. The next batter was Dylan See- Rockers. He earned a bunt single and advanced Arnold to second base. Fleek followed See-Rockers’ at-bat with an RBI single. The next Albert Lea batter, Zach Bordewick, hit a sacrifice fly to score See-Rockers. Fleek scored the Tigers third run of the inning on a sacrifice fly to center field by Lucas Hansen. Neither team scored in the sixth inning. The Rockets made a final effort to rally in the seventh inning, but exceptional defense by Albert Lea held them to only one run.

For the first out of the inning, Paulson stopped just short of the warning track in right field to catch a pop fly. Fleek continued a dominant performance on the mound by striking out a Rochester John Marshall batter for the second out. The Rockets scored one run with two outs, but Albert Lea made the final out shortly thereafter. Fleek pitched all seven innings. He struck out five batters and allowed four hits and one . “He’s been throwing year ’round. His arm is as strong as anyone’s,” Sczublewski said. “He battles out there, and the team plays hard behind him.” Fleek said he was satisfied with his performance on the mound. “I thought I pitched well for the first game of the year,” he said. “They (the outfield) made a lot of plays to back me up.”

Sczublewsi echoed Fleek’s sentiments about Albert Lea’s defensive performance. “We made some nice plays and our outfield played outstanding,” he said. “Makael made that diving catch with two on and two out in the third inning. Paulson made a tough catch in the corner and See-Rockers made a nice catch in the first inning.” Three Tigers batted .666 for the game: See-Rockers, Lunning and Paulsen — and that was against the Rockets’ ace pitcher: Janek Walker.

Earlier this week, Albert Lea took Winona to extra innings before the game was postponed. “We’ve played two of what you’d call the favorites with returning people in Winona and J.M.,” Sczublewski said. “We’ve shown we can compete with them.” The Tigers continue their conference tour today by hosting Rochester Mayo at 4 p.m. Winona Daily News: Big Nine keeping full schedule

April 18, 2013 11:30 pm • By HEIDI HANSE [email protected]

The Big Nine Conference went against the trend of overhauling spring sports schedules Thursday. The 10 conference athletic directors met to discuss how to move forward with the spring season and decided against scrapping what’s left of the season or changing all games to doubleheaders as the weather continues to shorten the competition window.

“Baseball and golf have been hit the hardest,” Winona athletic director Brad Berzinski said. “If we scrap all the (baseball) games we might run into not having enough qualified umpires. “We’re going to go with the philosophy of, if a single game is cancelled, to turn the next meeting of those teams into a doubleheader.”

The other option is to reschedule things on Wednesdays. Winona’s trip to the Kasson-Mantorville track and field meet Thursday was postponed due to rain, but the event will be made up May 8, which is a Wednesday.

“Historically, we stay away from Wednesdays, but we are looking at that as an option,” Berzinski said. “I feel confident that we will be able to play a majority of our schedules, though nonconference games will take a hit.

“At the end of the day, we said, let’s not panic just yet. That’s not to say next week we’ll feel the same way, but for now we are leaving things be.”

BIG NINE ADDITIONS: Red Wing and Northfield have officially applied to the Big Nine Conference. Berzinski said a vote could come as early as May 8, at the Big Nine Executive Meeting. In order to be accepted for the 2014-15 school year, there will need to be a unanimous vote.

The Big Nine hasn’t added a school since Rochester Century in 1996. D4

Faribault Daily News: Jensen’s walk-off single leads Faribault baseball to split with Rochester JM Posted: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 11:13 pm | Updated: 12:00 am, Thu May 9, 2013. By JOSH BERHOW [email protected] . Brent Hawkins thought about giving Evan Jensen the bunt sign. It’s a good thing he didn’t. Jensen busted out of a slump in a big way, shooting a base hit over the third baseman’s glove to give the Faribault High School baseball team a 4-3, eight-inning walk-off win over Rochester John Marshall on Tuesday in Rochester. The win salvaged the split of the Big 9 Conference doubleheader after JM won the opening game 2-1.

“That’s the kind of baseball I expect them to play,” said coach Hawkins. “I expect them to play like they did tonight. We got into jams but we got out of them. We didn’t give up a big inning, and I thought our infield was phenomenal tonight.”. Nate Emge took the loss in the first game despite allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks in six innings. The Rockets scored both of their runs in the third inning, and Faribault (3-4, 2-4 Big 9) scored its only run in the sixth when a Connor Wierschem RBI single scored Logan Murphy. In Game 2, Faribault took a 2-1 lead in the third inning when Murphy, who reached base six of seven times on the day, singled to score Mitch Struve before Wierschem added an RBI single.

JM (2-4, 2-3) threatened in the fifth, as starter Austin Houge walked the bases full, but Tyler Smeby came in and got the final out. Faribault then went up 3-1 in the sixth when Tanner Tousignant doubled, went to third on a passed ball and scored when an infield bobbled a grounder hit by Struve. “We were going on contact and Mitch did his job there,” Hawkins said.Up 3-1, Smeby was a pitch away from closing it out in the top of the seventh — Faribault was the home team the second game – but JM cleanup hitter Kaeleb Stangler extended the game. With a runner on first, two outs and a full count, Stangler homered to tie the game at 3-3.

Faribault got a runner on in the bottom of the seventh but JM turned a double play to end the inning. In the eighth, the Rockets got runners on second and third with one out, but Smeby escaped when Murphy fielded a grounder at short and cut the runner down at home, and the next batter grounded out to Smeby to end the inning.

Smeby, getting some redemption after the seventh-inning homer, led off the eighth with a single and moved to second when Tousignant was hit by a pitch. Jensen followed with the game-winning hit, a jam shot that fell over the third baseman’s outstretched glove. “It was big for Evan to get that hit, and hopefully that gets him going,” Hawkins said. “He’s putting too much pressure on himself, so it was nice that he stayed loose.”

“Overall, to go have a one-run loss and a one-run win against JM, we’ll take it,” Hawkins said.The Falcons host Austin (3-6, 3-6) at 5 p.m. on Thursday.

The Albert Lea baseball team lost a Big Nine Conference game Friday at Rochester John Marshall 12-2. The Rockets scored eight runs in the second inning to take the momentum.

“We walked eight batters in the second. It’s tough to come back from that,” Albert Lea head coach Joe Sczublewski said. “But, we hit the ball well and made some plays in the field.”

Albert Lea fought back with one run in the fourth inning and another in the fifth. In the fourth inning, Makael Lunning reached first base on an error and stole second. He scored on a hit by Chris Enderson. In the fifth, Zach Bordewick scored on a hit by Derek Burkard. However, Rochester John Marshall maintained its lead to secure the win.

The loss snapped the Tigers’ four-game winning streak, which started April 30. Albert Lea is 6-3 overall and 6-2 in the conference. Next, the Tigers play a doubleheader at Bell Field against Faribault at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

Adams Middle School in Rochester, MInn. Austin Daily Herald: Packers split a pair of nail-biters with JM Published 10:35pm Monday, May 13, 2013

The Packers have come close to sweeping a couple of baseball doubleheaders this season and Austin finally looked to have a sweep locked up against Rochester John Marshall in Dick Seltz Field Saturday. The Packers had a 12-8 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh, but the Rockets stole the game when Sam Broman ripped a three-run, one out walk off triple to give JM a 13-12 win after the Packers won the opener 5-4.

“We were in it the whole game, we came back a couple of times and we had a couple of rough situations that we got through,” said Austin sophomore Nik Gasner on the nightcap loss. “To lose like that on a walk-off is just pretty frustrating. Knowing that we should’ve had that second game is the worst part.” The Packers (6-9 overall, 5-8 Big Nine) committed five errors in the loss, but they also turned two key double plays to stop JM rallies. Austin also kept the pressure on by scoring two runs in the top of the sixth and seventh innings of the loss.

“You’ve go to give JM credit, they went out and won it,” Austin head coach Troy Watkins said. “I don’t think we gave it to them, those hits were legit. Give them credit for staying with it.” Austin won the opener when Steven Clennon delivered in his first career varsity start. Clennon avoided the big inning as he scattered five hits, three walks and three hit batters to get the win. “I just wanted to throw strikes. Little (Dylan) Gasner was putting the glove where I wanted it and I was hitting my spots for the most part,” Clennon said. “I walked more guys than I should’ve.” Clennon wasn’t sure he was even going to have a chance at a win, but the Packers received a break while trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning. With runners on second and third and two outs, Austin’s Ethan Horstmann hit a line drive right at JM’s right fielder, who dropped the ball and allowed the Packers to take a 5-4 lead. Needing just three outs to get his first varsity mound win, Clennon had all the momentum he needed. “I went out there feeling great and that was a boost,” Clennon said. Watkins said that Clennon gave him a solid start against the Rockets (5-5 overall, 5-3 Big Nine) in game one.

“I thought Steven did a nice job in the first game and he really pitched well. He showed he could get guys out,” he said. Nik Gasner had a huge day for the Packers as he went 5-for-6 with five RBIs. Gasner hit his first career varsity homerun in the nightcap when he drilled a three-run homer over the left field fence to put Austin up 7-3.

“My swing felt pretty good the whole day and I’ve been trying to get one of those for awhile,” Gasner said of his homer. “It was nice to get that first one.” Austin freshman Dylan Gasner was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs on the day and Austin senior Tommy Olmstead finished the day 4-for-8 with two RBIs and four runs scored. Austin racked up 24 hits on the day and the Rockets compiled 19 hits. “The conditions were good for offense,” Watkins said. “The infield is quick and the wind is blowing out, that leads to a lot of runs.”

Faribault Daily News: Faribault baseball is top seed in Section 1AAA

Posted: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 4:33 pm | Updated: 10:51 pm, Wed May 22, 2013. The Faribault High School baseball team received the No. 1 seed in the Section 1AAA Tournament and will host the winner of eighth-seeded Hastings and ninth-seeded Albert Lea at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday at Bell Field.

By earning a first-round bye, the Falcons are already into the double-elimination portion of the bracket and if will play at 11 a.m. on Monday at Bell Field with a win on Saturday, or will play at 1:30 p.m. on Monday at Bell Field with a loss. The Falcons will play one of three teams in their second game: No. 4 Owatonna, No. 5 Rochester John Marshall or No. 12 Farmington.

The Falcons beat Albert Lea 2-1 and 5-4 on May 14, lost 10-3 and 2-1 to Owatonna and split with JM, winning 4-3 in eight innings and losing 2-1. Faribault has not faced Hastings or Farmington this season.

Faribault’s last section win came in 2009 when it beat Austin 3-2 in the first round before losing back-to-back games to Rochester Mayo.

This means Faribault Academies’ opening round Section 2AA game against Waseca has been moved back to 2:30 p.m. at Bell Field on Saturday.

Farmington Independent: Baseball: Tigers blanked in section opener Posted: Thursday, May 23, 2013 9:33 pm By: Matt Steichen , The Farmington Independent

Four times during the regular season the Farmington baseball team lost games where its pitching and defense held an opponent to four or fewer runs.

It happened again in the opening round of the Section 1AAA tournament. The 12th-seeded Tigers traveled to Rochester John Marshall last Thursday and couldn’t string together enough hits in a season-ending 2-0 loss to the fifth-seeded Rockets.

The Tigers finished .500 in the Missota Conference for the first time in seven years, but were 0-4 outside of the league and finished the season with three straight losses where they totaled four runs.

“We just couldn’t get anything going.” Farmington coach Mike Winters said. “Both teams had five hits, they just had two drives over our heads, which proved to be the difference.”

One of those drives scored the Rockets’ first run in the bottom of the third against Farmington starter Jordan Beschorner. It stayed 1-0 until the sixth when the Tigers’ lone error led to an unearned insurance run that doubled the home team’s lead. Beschorner walked two and struck out one over six innings.

“Beschorner pitched well and gave us legitimate chance to win. That’s all you can hope for,” Winters said.

Spencer Merle doubled for the Tigers. Nick Schoening, Bobby Eckert, Zach Speikers and Jordan Decroock each added singles. The Tigers finished with a record of 7-11. Snow cover that lasted into early May forced them to play 14 of those games as part of doubleheaders, and play 17 of their 18 games in a span of 28 days.

OWATONNA — Not everything went right for the Owatonna baseball team Saturday afternoon. There was a first- inning error that led to two runs, five straight innings of sending four or fewer batters to the plate and two seventh- inning errors that led to two runs. Oh, and a wind that threw cold, wet air into the Huskies dugout from the first pitch to the last. Despite that, just enough went right as Owatonna sent Rochester John Marshall to the loser’s bracket of the Section 1AAA tournament with a sloppy 7-5 victory at Dartts Park.

“Coming in, you would have thought that it would be tight, with good pitching and good defense,” OHS coach Tate Cummins said. “It didn’t turn out that way. But we scored more runs, especially late, and that’s something which has been tough for us.”In their final at-bat of the day, in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Huskies pushed across four runs thanks to three singles, a sacrifice fly and a double. Two of those singles were planned as sacrifice bunts, the first of which was executed by No. 3 hitter Carter McCauley.It is rare for that spot in the lineup, where a coach usually places his best overall hitter, to be asked to lay one down. But McCauley didn’t think twice. Well, at least he didn’t until Cummins told him where to bunt.“I’ll do what the team needs me to do,” McCauley said, dispensing of the notion of a 3-hitter being above a bunt. “But I usually bunt down the first-base line. (Cummins) asked to go down the third- base line. It worked out.” With pinch-runner Andrew Peterson on first base after a Jake Buswell single, Cummins and McCauley had a quick chat. McCauley watched strike one, then dropped a perfect bunt down the fringe of the infield grass. Rockets pitcher Janek Walker slid to make a play, but by the time he rose, McCauley was a step from first base. “I knew I had it made,” McCauley said. “It felt really good off the bat. I knew immediately.” A wild pitch moved both runners up a base as Owen Carlson stood in with a tie game. Carlson popped a ball to right field, but the wind made setting up for a throw home impossible. Peterson tagged and just beat the short throw to give Owatonna the lead for good. Ryan Melcher followed with a perfectly-placed suicide squeeze that scored McCauley and saw Melcher beat the throw to first. Melcher then scored on Riley Thompson’s single before Thompson crossed the plate thanks to an RBI-double from Luke Wanous.

For Melcher, it was the second time in the game he had wielded a dangerous bat. In the fourth inning, Melcher, with Carlson on second, was asked to move the runner to third. With his goal being the right side, Melcher flipped a sinking liner down the right-field line, scoring Carlson. “(Walker) was mixing in his curve, so you had to wait on it,” Melcher said. “I saw it, waited, and it all worked out.” With the game knotted up, 3-3, in the top of the fifth, shortstop Dexter Leer made a play that might have completely swung the momentum into the Huskies’ dugout. With one out, JM’s clean-up hitter, Kaeleb Stangler, rifled a ball between third and short. Buswell couldn’t reach it, but Leer found it just before the outfield grass. In one graceful motion, Leer backhanded the ball, plated, spun and threw to first to get Stangler by a fraction of a second. The dugout immediately erupted, declaring, by most accounts, Leer’s effort the “play of the year.”

“I figured the runner would be too fast,” Leer said. “But I got the ball out of my glove quick. I though it might be slippery from the grass, but I figured, with no one on, just let it go.” With defensive plays like that, and an offense that found its stride late in the game, pitcher Colton Schock had enough to win. And win he did. Schock threw all seven innings, allowing only two earned runs and two walks while striking out three. That kept every other Owatonna arm fresh, including ace-lefty Jordan Howe, who will take the hill at 1:30 p.m. Monday at Faribault. “Howe’s our guy,” Cummins said. “He’s a senior hoping to peak at the right time. And there’s no better time than Monday.” The winner of Monday’s game will play the winner of the Rochester Mayo at Winona game June 1 in Red Wing. If the Huskies lose to the Falcons, Owatonna would face either JM or Albert Lea in an elimination game at 4 p.m. Monday.

Coach Pete Maus told senior Nate Picha on Saturday that it was a day he would remember forever. Picha won’t be the only one. The senior delivered not one, but two game-winning hits for No. 3-seeded Northfield as it beat No. 5-seeded Rochester John Marshall 3-2 in eight innings and No. 4-seeded Owatonna 2-1 to continue its advance through the Section tournament and into the finals.

“It’s always fun to see something like that,” Maus said. Northfield’s survive-and-advance run through the tournament’s elimination portion has been nothing but fun for the Raiders, who now face Rochester Mayo in the finals. The Raiders will need to beat the Spartans twice to win the Section and advance to state, as Rochester Mayo has not yet lost in the tournament.

“We’re still playing and we still haven’t really gotten what we want to do,” Maus said. “We still have a chance. We’re still just focusing on playing. We’re not going to think about where we’re at or where we’ve been until we’re done.”

Great pitching and defense got Northfield through a pair of tight contests, starting with an extra-innings barn burner against Rochester John Marshall. Senior Jake Mathison pitched Northfield into a 1-1 tie going into the eighth inning before surrendering another run to go down 2-1.

With one out in the bottom of the seventh inning senior Alex Morsching walked, and with sophomore Joey Eckhoff running for him the Raiders eventually were down to their final out. Then sophomore Tommy McDonald, Mathison and Picha all strung together singles, the final one from Picha plating McDonald on a close play at the plate for the walk-off winner. “That was pretty dramatic,” Maus said.

Northfield then had to turn right around and take on the Huskies, who went up 1-0 and no-hit the Raiders all the way into the sixth inning. It was then another Morsching walk sparked things, with a sacrifice bunt, McDonald walk and steal setting up for a two-out situation with runners on second and third for Picha.

Again the senior delivered, poking a single to right center to score the only two runs Northfield would need for the victory.

“We didn’t swing the bat that well but we had that timely hitting. Our pitching kept us in it and we played pretty good defense too,” Maus said. “[Pitching and defense] overcomes everything. The hitting sometimes is there and sometimes it’s not. The pitching and the defense is the one consistent area where if you’re good at it you can count on it.”

Sophomore Cody Polzin pitched the first five innings, with sophomore Colin Shepley pitching the final two scoreless innings. “We had very good pitching,” Maus said.

The Section final is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Tuesday in Red Wing. POST-BULLETIN Sports MONDAY Fitness JUNE 3, 2013 D
