Burnsville Captures Classic Championship

(Click Attachment below for New Ulm and championship game scrap-booking; final additions expected to be added Monday. And thanks Mike Guggisberg for your faithful line score reports from the ballpark).

Burnsville won its third Upper Midwest Baseball tournament championship with a 7-2 triumph over Rosetown to wrap up the four-day 20-team event for 2012. Rosetown was awarded the sportsmanship trophy as well as earning runner-up honors.

Rosetown's Post 542 Rockets from Roseville drew first blood with two hits producing a single run in the top of the first in the championship game for the Upper Midwest Baseball Classic concluding at New Ulm Sunday, July 98.

Burnsville also had two hits in the first and manufactured two runs to take a 2-1 lead before a scoreless second frame for both teams, then added three more in the third and one in the fourth.

Luke Chinn went the distance with a six-hitter.

Burnsville Fights Off Late Eastview Rally to Gain Finals

A seemingly save 9-3 lead held by Burnsville shrunk to a two-run margin in the last of the seventh, but Burnsville held on for a 9-7 triumph and moved into the championship game. Burnsville will be shooting for its third title in 10 years of participating in the Upper Midwest Baseball Classic. Roseville (Rosetown) is searching for its first in 11 seasons.
Burnsville scored three times in the third inning to take a 5-2 lead over Eastview Thunder (4-0) in the semi-final game Sunday. Each had plated a pair of runs in the first inning. Both scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.

Burnsville then added three more runs in the top of the seventh on three hits to take the lead at 9-3.

Eastview scored four times on three hits and two Burnsville errors to make things touchy at the end. However, the Apple Valley Eastview Thunder couldn't repeat its 2011 championship.

New Ulm Gold, Three Metro Teams Saturday Reach Finals with semi finals Sunday, July 8th
New Ulm Gold Saturday came back from a five-run deficit to edge Renner SD in its final pool game to become one of the four semi-finalists who play for the championship Sunday. Gold meets Roseville at 9:30 while Burnsville plays Eastview Thunder at noon with the two winners deciding the tournament title after the second game. All are Metro area teams except New Ulm.

Eastview went into the eighth inning before squeezing home the winning run after a walk, sacrifice and then a passed ball put the deciding run on third base where a 2-2 pitch turned into the perfect squeeze.

New Ulm was down 5-0 with Renner, SD scoring in the second, third and sixth innings. Then a three-run shot by Jason Shaul cleared the right-field fence and set up the winning run in the seventh. The seventh featured three regular walks, another intentional walk, a force at the plate and then Erich Prokosh nailing a single to right to bring in Tim Kehren who had been intentionally walked to load the bases. An error in center brought in the tying runs to set up the comeback victory.

Saturday's exciting baseball also produced a five-inning perfect game by Chase Bosshart of Burnsville against New Ulm Blue at Johnson Park and then a five-inning no-hitter by Austin Kost of Sioux Falls East at Mueller Park.
