Cold Spring Springers Hang on for Victory against Coon Rapids

*QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

After splitting their first two regional playoff games in Coon Rapids, the Springers sent Zach Femrite to the mound to take on the hometown Redbirds. Although there were some questionable calls by the umpiring crew that hurt Cold Spring, the Springers still managed to score a run in three different innings. However, in the bottom of the ninth inning, Femrite lost control of his fastball and loaded the bases. Rain was likely a factor, but the umps were forced to let play continue because there was still another game to be played between the winner and Sauk Rapids. The Springers called on Chad Willenbring to come in and get the save, and Willenbring was up to the task. He induced a ground out and two pop flies and the Springers held on for a 3-2 win. The Springers will play next on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Gaylord, MN against Blaine. Check their website for more details.

ROCORI Loses to Staples-Motley in Final Game of Season

Spartans' season ends on questionable call.

The ROCORI Spartans’ baseball season came to an end Monday June 1, 2009, but not before a valiant effort against Staples-Motley. Scott Schroeder pitched brilliantly for the Spartans, but ROCORI could not muster any offense. In the final inning of their season, Shane Rausch knocked a single down the left field line. As he attempted to gain second base, the Cardinals shortstop grabbed the ball in left field, spun, and threw a bullet to second base as Rausch slid in to second. While our replay is not 100% conclusive, it appears Rausch beat the tag. Nevertheless, Rausch was called out and the Spartans rally was cut short in the 7th inning as they lost to Staples-Motley 2-1. Watch the highlights of this game and you make the call as to whether he beat the tag or not.

After beating Milaca and Albany, the ROCORI Spartans squared off against their toughest opponents of the 2009 playoffs, St. Cloud Cathedral.

In the third inning ROCORI would tie the game on a double by Cole Schmitz. Senior pitcher Scott Theis pitched well for ROCORI, but the bats simply couldn't come alive and ROCORI lost the Subsection Championship 3-1.
