Region 8C Playoffs

Sobieski 10, Lastrup 9
Buckman, MN - 8/15/2010

The Sobieski Ski's claimed their fifth Region 8C Championship with a 10-9 win over Lastrup Sunday in Buckman.  In a see-saw game, the Ski's got a two out, two run homer from Jon Czech in the top of the first to grab an early lead.  Lastrup countered with five runs in the bottom of the first on a Jeremy Monson RBI single and a grand slam from Jason Sadlovsky.  

The Ski's got a run in the second on Riley Hirsch's RBI single to make it 5-3.  Sobieski then took the lead with three runs in the third as Joe Rydeen had a two out RBI  single, followed up by Josh Wenzel's two run hit, making it 6-5 in favor of the Ski's.  Greg Aker's two out RBI double in the fourth extended the Ski's lead to 7-5.  

Lastrup tied the game in the bottom of the fifth on back-to-back RBI doubles by Rick Schlieman and Dustin Schmaltz to make it 7-7.  John Fuchs, a draftee from Upsala, relieved Sobieski starter Simon Waltman after the Schmaltz double with one out and the two men on in a tie game.  Fuchs got a pop up to short and a strikeout to preserve the tie.  Each team plated a run in the seventh, with the Ski's getting an RBI single from Josh Wenzel to make it 8-7.  It was the 15 year old's third hit and third RBI of the title game.  Lastrup got that run right back in the bottom of the seventh on Scott Janson's two out RBI single.  Lastrup ended up leaving the bases loaded in the seventh inning against Fuchs.  

After two quick outs in the top of the eighth for Sobieski, Jake Kluver doubled to center and Greg Aker slammed a line drive home run over Highway 25 in right field to make it 10-8.  In the bottom of the eighth, Lastrup strung together three consecutive two out single to score a run, as Dustin Schmaltz drove in Nate Janson to make it 10-9.  But for the second inning in a row, Lastrup left the bases loaded against Fuchs.  

In the bottom of the ninth, Jamie Litke reached on a one out infield single for Lastrup, putting the tying run on base and bringing the potential winning run to the plate, but Fuchs got Todd Robinson to ground into a game-ending 4-6-3 double play.  Fuchs earned the win with four and two-thirds innings of relief.  Reggie Litke took the loss for Lastrup.

Region 8C Playoffs

Sobieski 4, Fort Ripley 3
Buckman, MN - 8/14/2010

The Sobieski Ski's held on to defeat Fort Ripley 4-3 Saturday in Buckman in a Region 8C elimination game.  The Ski's led 4-0 going to the bottom of the ninth, but the Rebels put together another late game rally in this one, as Rhett Williamson led off with a single, Brett Kramer walked to put runners at first and second with no outs.  Nic Jelacie popped to short for the first out.  Jason Sather then slapped a single up the middle to score Williamson to make it 4-1 with runners still at first and second.  Ray Austin came up and drilled his second double of the game, a gaper to right-center that scored Kramer making it 4-2 and putting the tying run at second with one out.  The Rebels pinch ran for Austin, putting in Rob Veith Sr. at second base.  Bill Sather popped out to the shortstop in shallow left for the second out.  That brought up veteran Curt Veith.  Veith lined the first pitch he saw from Jason King into right field to score Jason Sather, making it 4-3, and Ski's right fielder Greg Aker's throw home was in time to just get a sliding Rob Veith at the plate for the third out to end the ballgame.  

For Sobieski, Jason King earned his second straight complete game win.  Jake Kluver led the offense, going 4-4 with a walk and driving in two runs.  Sobieski scored twice in second on a groundout by Riley Hirsch and a single by Kluver.  Kluver's perfectly placed bunt single in the fourth drove in Aaron Hennes with the Ski's third run and Jon Czech lifted a sacrifice fly to center in the ninth to make it 4-0.  That turned out to be a huge insurance run for Sobieski, as the Rebels ninth inning rally fell just short.

Region 8C Playoffs

Avon 5, Sobieski 2
Pierz, MN - 8/7/2010

In the winner's bracket of the Region 8C Tournament in Pierz Saturday, the Avon Lakers got a pair of solo homers and a RBI single from Jeff Swenson and Troy Wunderlich was effectively wild as Avon defeated Sobieski 5-2.  Wunderlich went eigth+ innings, exiting after giving up a leadoff single to pinch-hitter Isaac Smieja in the bottom of the ninth.  Nic Locnickar came in and nailed down the save.  

The Lakers got a run in the first thanks to two Ski's throwing errors.  Riley Hirsch tied the game at 1-1 with a RBI groundout in the second.  Jeff Swenson homered to left with two outs in the fourth to put Avon ahead 2-1, but Jason King led off the bottom of the fourth with a homer to tie it at 2-2.  

Swenson singled in a run in the sixth to make it 3-2.  That inning provided the most controversial call of the game, as Dusty Upgren of Avon was called out for runners interference at first base after laying down an apparent sacrifice bunt with runners at first and second and no outs.  The runner from second thought he had scored on the play, but the umpires sent the two runners back to their original bases and ruled Upgren out.  Swenson then singled to scored Taylor Holthaus.

Avon added two insurance runs in the top of the ninth, as Swenson homered to lead things off, Gary Deters followed with a double, and Deters eventually scored on a sacrafice fly by Ricky Hendrickson to make it 5-2. That turned out to be the final score.  

Andrew Lange suffered the loss, going five and a third innings.  Nate Olson came on in relief and struck out seven of the first eight men he faced, but then gave up the two runs in the ninth.

Sobieski 2, Royalton 1
Sobieski, MN - 7/18/2010

Top seeded Sobieski scored a run in the bottom of the eighth to edge #3 Royalton 2-1 in the winner's bracket of the West Division playoffs Sunday.  The Ski's scored an unearned run in the bottom of the second to go ahead 1-0, and the game stayed that way as Joe Rydeen of Sobieski and Cole Jendro of the Riverdogs worked in and out of trouble to keep it a 1-0 game through seven innings.  Jendro issued seven walks but was helped out by his defense, as the Riverdogs were able to turn three double plays to keep the Ski's from adding to their lead.  

Royalton got the equalizer in the top of the eighth against reliever Nate Olson as Paul Krebs led off with a walk, followed by Andrew Gurbada's double to right to put runners at second and third with no outs.  Adam Yourczek dropped a single into shallow right field to score Krebs and tie the game at 1-1.  Royalton now had runners at the corners with no out.  Olson got Zach Lanners to line into a double play, with the runner at first caught off the bag.  That left Gurbada at third with two outs, representing the go ahead run. Olson got a strikeout to keep the game tied after seven and a half innings.  

The Ski's plated the game winner in the bottom of the eighth as Brad Czech led off with a walk (his third of the game) against new Riverdogs pitcher Pete Gleisner.  Sam Rydeen pinch ran for Czech.  After a strikeout, Riley Hirsch collected a single to move Rydeen to second.  Beau Hanowski flew out to left for the second out, and then Jake Kluver doubled to right to score Rydeen with the eventual game winning run.  At the tail end of that play, Riley Hirsch tired to score from first base, but was called out at home when the umpire ruled he never touched the plate, and Royalton catcher Paul Krebs raced over to the Ski's dugout to apply the tag on Hirsch for the final out.  Olson worked a 1-2-3 inning in the ninth to end the game.
