ELROSA SAINTS

       (Ashton with 2 home runs!)

Friday night the Saints got a complete game victory from Ethan Vogt as the Navy Nine blanked Roscoe 8-0. Vogt was flawless on the mound with 9 innings pitched, three hits, and six strikeouts. Vogt dominated from start to finish and didn't allow a walk as the Saints cruised to the win under the lights. Ashton Dingmann ripped his first home run of the summer with a towering blast while Kevin Kuefler and Brandon Roelike each smashed two hits to pace the offense. 

Saturday afternoon, the Saints traveled to Farming to reunite with the inventors as the orange raced out to an early lead and held on for the 8-4 win. Dingmann hit another monster homerun, this time a three run shot to get the Saints on the board. Payton VanBeck, fresh off a nice season for St. Cloud State, started on the mound and threw well for 6 innings. VanBeck struck out 7 while only allowing 3 hits. Wyatt Steffensen cleaned up the remaining 3 innings with 4 strikeouts scattered around 5 walks and 3 hits. Andrew Weller continued his hot start to the season with two more hits and Squirrel Olmscheid knocked in three runs despite never recording a hit. The Saints will renew their rivarly with Regal on Friday night in Elrosa before traveling to Greenwald on Sunday to continue SCL play.
