It was the Consolation Championship game for the ROCORI Spartans as they looked to go out with a win. No matter what this game would be the last for the tremendous seniors on the Spartan team and pitcher Josh Engquist would toe the rubber for the Red and White. It was a rocky first inning for Josh as he would allow three runs but the ROCORI Spartans would get one back in the bottom of the 1st.  In the second inning Hastings was able to build their lead as they would scrape across another run against pitcher Josh Engquist. At the end of the second it would be a 4-1 ball game in favor of the Hastings Raiders.

The 5th inning was similar to the 4th inning with pitching and defense. Both teams would keep runners off the base paths and continued to keep the score tied at 4.  While pitcher Josh Engquist was keeping the Raiders off the bases his counterpart for Hasting couldn't do that in the bottom of the 6th. The ROCORI Spartans would get two runs as first baseman Brad Olson had one of the biggest hits of his career.

It was a rough game for the Cold Spring Springers starting pitcher, Andy Bulson. He would get chases out in the 7th inning and the bullpen for the Springers would come on and pitch well. A combination of Zach Reif and Rick Burtzel would silence the Hampton Cardinal bats for the remaining innings.

Pitching was the name of the game for most of the season for the ROCORI Spartans.

During the fifth inning the defense would pick up for the ROCORI Spartans. Diving catches and great plays in the infield really helped quiet the Hill Murray Panther bats.  In the sixth inning pitcher Chad Aaseth would keep the Hill Murray Panther bats quiet as he watched infielder Alex Jungels add to his RBI total. Jungels would get a huge two-out RBI as the short stop for Hill-Murray had trouble fielding a ground ball.

It wasn't the best start for pitcher Luke Vossen or the ROCORI Spartans as they took on Duluth East in 1st round action. Last year the Spartans went winless and this year they hoped for something different.  The second inning was when the ROCORI Spartans took advantage of wilding pitching by Duluth. Shortstop Jon Lardy had a huge 2 out hit to tie the game.

The pitching came around for both teams as neither team was able to get anything going with their bats in the 3rd Inning. Good defense for both teams which kept the score 2-2.  The 3rd inning was more of the same from pitcher Luke Vossen and his counterpart from Duluth East. Both pitchers really would become more focused in the middle innings. Luke Vossen would recover after allowing a third inning run.

In the 5th Inning Luke Vossen quieted the bats on defense and on offense the ROCORI Spartans would tie the game up with a sac-fly by outfielder Brian Hansen. 3-3 was the score after five innings.  The sixth inning was different, however, since both pitchers would not allow a run to cross. The game remained tied at 3 as the ROCORI Spartans looked for some late game magic.

The ROCORI Spartans had a chance to win with no one out in the bottom of the 7th. Shortstop Jon Lardy had a lead off double and catcher Brian Skluzacek followed with a bunt single.  The 8th inning was heartbreaking. The ROCORI Spartans had a win ripped away from them and had to go out and play defense. Pitcher Josh Engquist would take the loss but he pitched very well in relief.
