DELANO — One of three area teams still alive in the Minnesota Baseball Association Class A state tournament fell on Saturday.
Jordan’s Adam Kalal and Scott Hollingsworth both drove in two runs as the Jordan Brewers defeated Bird Island 10-4 in the tournament’s second round.
The teams played scoreless ball through three innings, but the Brewers backed starter and winner Nate Beckman with six runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, then tacked on four more in the eighth to make a Bullfrogs’ rally implausible.
Bird Island’s Jack Peppel drove in three runs and Shawn Dollerschell tripled in Bird Island’s other run.
On Sunday, New London-Spicer plays Mora at 1:30 p.m. in Delano and Raymond takes on Perham at 7 p.m. in Maple Lake.
