Lotsa Baseball for the Brew Crew


It's American League Mid-Season Classic time and the mighty Brewers play on after splitting a pair of games today at Sitzer Park in Shoreview. The day began on a grim note with an 11-1 loss to the Mets, but the Brewers righted the ship and knocked off the Phillies 3-2 in the afternoon to stay alive in the double-elimination tournament.


Games in the tournament are only 4 innings, so Ben only batted twice during the two games, but he singled both times and also fielded his position flawlessly, playing mostly at 2nd base. The Brewers resume action at noon tomorrow against the Giants, again at Sitzer Park. If the Brewers can win that, they will assure themselves of at least a 3rd place finish in the tournament. A nice development in what's been a somewhat rough season.


As always, if you want the best coverage of Shoreview Area Youth Baseball American League action, keep it right here.
