New Ulm Sports Central - Preserving and Sharing New Ulm Area Sports History

Chaska - South All Stars had the game won once in the ninth inning but needed 12 innings to finally do away with Metro East 7-6 here in the opening game of the 2009 High School Coaches Lion's All-Star series. Garrett and Kyle Fischer of New Ulm started for the South in center and at third base. Each was 0 for 2 before leaving the game.
Hits and runs were scarce in opening innings until a grand slam off the center field scoreboard put South into a 6-3 advantage. The Metro East team rallied in the ninth and scored three times to tie the game when a two-out fly ball was dropped in left field.
Don Boelter, former Sleepy Eye coach and New Ulm High School 1950 graduate was among Hall of Fame nominees to be recognized prior to the second game, each throwing out a ceremonial first pitch. Boelter played with New Ulm and Sleepy Eye teams and has been in the baseball Hall of Fame at Luther, Decorah, Iowa. Don actually threw a couple, one to son Tarry of Slayton. Also among the nominees for induction in October was Jim Muchlinski of Marshall who coached many seasons at Marshall Central Catholic and then Marshall High School. The late Stan Wilfahrt of New Ulm Cathedral will also be inducted in October.
Chad Olson, Madelia High School graduate and now Wabasso coach Chad Olson was one of the South team coaches. Jeff Stoll, NUHS and now coaching at Park Center is one of the Metro West coaches.
