Gopher Softball Starts 8-0
Thru five games of the season, the Chatfield softball girls really hadn’t had too much to sweat about. Short of a contest with Plainview-Elgin-Millville (where the Goph’s led just 1-0 after four; they

A Baseball Bonanza
There was a bevy of county-related baseball action going on starting Monday May 6th. Fillmore Central/Lanesboro entertained Rushford-Peterson. It was a back-and-forth game. FC/L jumped out 3-0 (after one). R-P replied to take a 4-3 lead (after two). FC/L replied to take a 5-4 lead (after three). R-P forced a tie in the 5th, only for FC/L to retake the lead in the bottom half of the inning (6-5). But the Trojans got the last two hurrahs. They tied the game in the 6th and then got the winning run in the 7th for the 7-6 victory. Zach Ansell was 3-4 with a pair of RBI’s. Cale Stensgard (2-3, 2B, 2 R) also drove in a pair. Fernando Tominaga went the distance and got the win. For FC/L, Cal Larson was 2-3 with a run scored and a pair of RBI’s. Dan Gatzke was 1 for 3 (2B, RBI), but had 4 SB’s and scored 3 runs.
That same Monday, a pair of county baseball teams finally got in the win column. GMLOK pulled off the 3-Rivers Conference shocker of the year. The Bulldogs pulled into Wabasha win-less on the season (0-7). A season ago, they had just one victory. W-K was last year’s Sub-Section 1A East champ. They entered with a 5-0 record (and finished the week leading the 3-Rivers with a 7-1 mark). The one loss came at the hands of GMLOK. Junior pitcher Isaac Tangen was a big reason why. He scattered 6 hits, walked just two, struck out five, while giving up just one run. He also was 1-4 at the plate with a RBI. The ‘Dog defense committed 0 errors. Trevor Gomer (2-4, 2B) and Isaiah Bubany (1-2) each scored runs as the Bulldogs defeated the perennial powerhouse Falcons 3-1. Mabel-Canton also rode a junior pitcher into the win column. Collin O’Bieglo pitched a 5-hit shutout (6 K’s, 2 BB’s) to allow the Cougars to defeat Schaeffer Academy 2-0. Justin Ward and Noah Manning were each 1 for 3 with doubles. Ward drove in one of M-C’s runs. The Cougar defense was also solid. It committed just one error.
On Friday, the Bulldogs wrapped up the week hosting R-P. Senior 3B Lucas Roe got the day started, smacking a 2-run HR in the first inning, the first GMLOK dinger of the year. The 2-0 lead wasn’t all Isaac Tangen, again on the mound, needed, but it was pretty close. The Bulldog lead was 7-1 heading to the top of the 7th. At that point, Tangen had surrendered five hits and allowed just one run with zero walks. R-P collected four hits in the 7th. They attempted a comeback .....

It just seems to happen, probably all too often for non-Trojan fans. An opponent tests the Rushford-Peterson boys, usually early on, and then presto. R-P forces some turnovers. They score in bunches. Next thing you kn
