A little of this, A little of that
I spent some time recently in a sisterhood. No, did not enter a convent or escape to a nunnery! I spoke at the Root River Conference Spring Gathering at the Chatfield Lutheran Church.

It was a big week again for Chatfield baseball. The Gophers lost their first game, but went 4-1 with three big TRC victories. Chatfield (#7 in AA, 7-0, 10-0) started with key TRC-West doubleheader against second place PEM (8-1, 10-2). Game one saw Chatfield lead 1-0 before authoring an 11-run fourth inning. Up 12-0, all seemed kosher until PEM authored an 8-run bottom of … [Read more...]
