Region 8C Playoffs: Game 3
Randall 9, Sobieski 8
Buckman, MN - 8/4/2007
The Randall Cubs made an incredible five run rally in
the bottom of the ninth to stun and eliminate the
defending Region 8C Champion Sobieski Skis Saturday in
Buckman.
The Skis bats came alive early in the game, as they used
five hits to knock in three runs
in the first inning. They plated two more in the
second inning and chased Randall starting pitcher Jason
King after Brad Czech's leadoff double to center to lead
off the third inning. Matt Swanson (draftee from
the Upsala Blue Jays) threw well from then on. He
allowed a single run in the fourth on Nate Olson's
double off the left field wall, and a two run homer to
left by Skis left fielder Joe Thoma in the
seventh. Swanson struck out twelve in his seven
innings of relief. Sobieski carried an 8-4 lead
into the bottom of the ninth when the Cubs rallied.
Skis draftee Jamie Leners took over for starter Simon
waltman to start the inning. Lead off hitter Ricky
Drew got the inning going by working out a walk.
Kevin Knopik and Brian Hanson followed with base hits to
load the bases. Jason Karnowski then doubled in
two runs cutting the Skis lead in half at 8-6.
Beau Hanowski then relieved Leners on the mound.
The Cubs then drew three walks in a row. Nick
Prozinski walked to reload the bases, Matt Martin walked
driving in a run to make it 8-7, and Chad Stadum walked
to tie the game 8-8. With the bases loaded and
still no outs, Matt Swanson drilled the game winning
single to center field.

Region 8C Playoffs: Game

Skis third baseman Jon Czech tags out a
Laker attempting to steal third base.
Sobieski 3, Lastrup 2
Pierz, MN - 7/29/2007
The Skis and Lakers battled in
an intense elimination game on the second day of the
Region 8C Tourney. John Fuchs, draftee form the
Upsala Blue Jays, started for the Skis and the Lakers
gave the ball to Scott Geiger, draftee from the Buckman
Billygoats. The Lakers took a 1-0 lead in the
bottom of the second inning when first baseman Tim Lease
singled home catcher Dave Woitalla, another draftee from
the Buckman Billygoats..
The score remained unchanged until the bottom of the
fifth when the Skis scored three times. With the
bases loaded and two outs, Joe Thoma hit a chopper to
first that bounced off the shoulder of the Lakers first
baseman and deflected towards right field. The
ball was retrieved and an errant throw to first ended up
in the Laker dugout, allowing three runs to score on the
play.
The Skis held a 3-1 lead until the bottom of the
ninth when the Lakers mounted a rally. Lastrup
used two hits and a walk to cut the Skis lead to 3-2 and
had the game winning run on in scoring position when
Fuchs induced a ground ball to shortstop Jake Kluver to
end the rally and secure the victory for the Skis.
Lastrup pitcher Scott Geiger went the distance on the
mound, taking the hard luck loss after throwing 2 2/3
innings of relief on Saturday for the Lakers.
Geiger threw an amazing 218 pitches over two days of
work on the hill for the Lakers. Skis starter John
Fuchs did an excellent job of keeping the potent Laker
lineup off balance. He went the distance in the
win allowing five hits and striking out four.

A Laker tip-toes past the tag of catcher
Jeff Thoma to score.
Lastrup 11, Sobieski 10 [11]
(5/28/2007)
Sobieski, MN
The Lakers came out on top in
this wild one between the division leaders of the
Victory League East and West.
Rick Schlieman hit a 3-run home run in the top of the
first to give the Lakers the lead. The Skis answered
with two of their own in the bottom of the second on a
2-run single by second baseman Brad Czech. The
Lakers held a 5-2 lead into the bottom of the fifth when
the Skis scored a run to cut the lead to 5-3. With two
outs and runners on second and third the Lakers
intentionally walked Skis first baseman Jon Czech.
Joe Thoma, the next batter, then stepped up to the plate
and hit a grand slam to left field giving the Skis a 7-5
lead.
The Lakers fought back in the seventh and took the lead
back at 8-7. That lead stood until the bottom of the
ninth. With one out Jeff Thoma cracked a double
prompting Laker starting pitcher Dan Saehr to be
replaced by Reggie Litke. Aaron Hennes greeted
Litke with a sharp single to right to tie the game
8-8. In the top of the eleventh, the Lakers put up
three runs off Skis reliever Jake Kluver to once again
take the lead. The drama wasn't over there
though. In the bottom of the eleventh the Skis
mounted a furious rally scoring two runs on two Laker
errors and having the bases loaded with two outs.
The rally was cut short when Litke induced a ground ball
to the shortstop from the next batter to end the game.
