On a night filled with 130 mph gusts of wind, the Prior Lake Jays were able to hold off the Black Sox from Rosemount in a Section 5 battle. TJ Larson started on the mound for the Jays, lasting 6 innings, allowing 1 run and striking out 12 batters. Timothy Garceau hit a 500 foot home run that traveled 390 feet into the dead wind of the night.
Kyle Zweber had an exceptional effort on a foul ball in the 9th.
Key hits also came from Dustin Olynyk, late in the game to drive in 2 runs with 2 outs in the 8th inning to give the Jays a 5-2 lead that they would hold onto.
If section 5 playoffs started today, the Jays would hold the best record at 1-0 and host as your number 1 seed. The Jays will travel to Lesueur tonight at 730pm to add to their wind burn in River Valley League action. Rich is back in 2 weeks, he will strike out every at bat and swear a ton. SWARM
