6:00 P.M.  I'm back and disappointed.  Dundas and Northfield didn't get a bid to host the tournament.  We did get up there about 9:30 with our delegation of eight dedicated baseball people.  I wanted to blog about it right away, however, the Eastside VFW didn't have Wi-Fi that I could get into. 

Four more tournaments are being played this weekend.  Belle Plaine, Cannon Falls, Detroit Lakes and Bemidji. Here are the pairings and times.

Four Tournaments were played over the weekend and here are the results:

In Sartell:

The co-host Sartell Muskies rode pitching and defense to win their own tournament, beating 3 quality teams while making only 1 error during the weekend. Tim Burns was named tournament MVP for the second year in a row. He finished the tournament 7-for-12 at the plate and made a game saving catch in the Muskies opening game.

The Cannon Valley League and Section 5 are down a team this year as Apple Valley has decided not to field a team in 2010.  "Last year we had three managers and that didn't work," said Josh Wigley (pictured), who has been with Apple Valley since 1994, "and this year we couldn't get anyone to manage."

There are four tournaments this weekend, the Omann Insurance Invitational in Sartell and St. Stephen, the Stearns County Classic in St. Martin and Lake Henry, the Dundas Invitational and the New Prague Invitational.  Here are the pairings and times:

Looking for a game on Memorial Day?  Here are a few to choose from.  The River Valley League has Chaska @ Jordan at 6:00 P.M.  Shakopee plays at Victoria at 6:00 P.M.

The Winsted Wildcats are in uncharted territory this year.  By virtue of their two fourth place finishes in the last four years (2007 and 2009) at the State Class C Tournament, they were moved to Class B for the 2010 season.
