 Macy Weller earned a sixth-place finish in the Class A state triple jump event today in St. Paul. She broke her personal 'state' record and finished with a best jump of 35 feet, one and one-quarter inch. In the 2012 state meet, she took seventh with a best jump of 35 feet, one-quarter inch while earning All-State honors.

Her personal career record in the triple jump is 35 feet, nine inches, earned in the 2012 Section 6A meet.

Another shut out win!

Final from Dick Putz field today in St. Cloud in the Section 6AA baseball tournament: Sauk Centre 1, Minnewaska Area 0. Patrick Knoblauch pitched a complete game win with five hits against seven strikeouts. Josh Buschette earned Sauk Centre's only hit of the game, but it was a big one. He knocked a one-out double in the top of the seventh inning, then stole third base and finally home on a wide throw.

Now 9-10 overall, the Mainstreeters face Little Falls (16-4) in the final elimination game of the Section 6AA tournament. That game has a 7 p.m. start tonight in St. Cloud.

**Update: Sauk Centre lost 3-1 in a very well-played game to the Flyers tonight to end their season with a 9-11 overall record. They won four playoff games, a tremendous achievement, while finishing in third place in the 16-team Section 6AA.

Mainstreeters baseball playoff game postponed

In the dugout at Dick Putz Field in St. Cloud, waiting for word on when the game would start...and then it was canceled until Thursday.

Streeters playoff game rained out, rescheduled for Wednesday at 2 p.m.

The Section 6AA playoff game between Sauk Centre and Minnewaska was rained out Tuesday and rescheduled for Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Dick Putz Field in St. Cloud.
Sauk centre will send senior Patrick Knoblauch to the mound against the Lakers, who swept the Streeters in a doubleheader earlier this year (3-2 and 7-3). Minnewaska will counter with sophomore hurler Jake Paulson.
Knoblauch is coming off a 6-inning outing over Melrose in which he allowed just one hit. The Streeters defeated the Dutchmen in an elimination game 6-3 and then pounced Pierz Monday 9-0 behind 14 hits from the offense and a 3-hit shutout from junior right-hander Josh Buschette.
The winner of Wednesday's game will play again at 7 p.m. against No. 2 seeded Little Falls. The Flyers lost 1-0 to top-seeded St. Cloud Cathedral on Monday. The winner of that game will play Cathedral on Thursday and have to beat them twice for a berth into the state tournament.

Playoff win! Shut out style!

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.
