The Sauk Centre Mainstreeters were red hot at just about everything they did tonight as they blasted the Central Minnesota Conference co-champion Pierz Pioneers 9-0 in the elimination bracket of the Section 6AA baseball tournament in St. Cloud. The Mainstreeters (8-10 overall) punished two Pioneers pitchers to the tune of 14 hits in six innings of batting.
Starter Josh Buschette (4-3) went the distance on the mound and fired seven strikeouts against three hits, three walks and one hit batsman. The Maroon's defense was stout to back him up while committing only one error in the game compared to six by Pierz, who finishes the season 12-9 and 9-3 in the CMC in a tie for first place with Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted.
Up next: they face neighboring rival Minnewaska Area in an elimination game at 5 p.m. on Tuesday in St. Cloud. The Lakers (12-7) defeated Paynesville Area 4-1 in another game played tonight. The Bulldogs went 0-for-5 at the plate when they had runners in scoring position.
More details on the win will follow in this week's Sauk Centre Herald issue.
