Box Score 4/15/2024
Maple Grove 7, STMA 1
Sam Hagen (W, 5IP, 1R, 2H, 4K) took the mound for the Crimson and pitched five (5) strong innings, giving up a lone solo home run in the top of the first. The Maple Grove hitters struck back in the bottom of the first, scoring their own run on two singles (Nathan Schmidt, Kellen Riskedahl), a walk (Evan O'Dwyer), and an RBI fielder's choice (Connor Johnson). The Crimson took the lead for good in the third when Riskedahl drove in Schmidt with an RBI ground out after Schmidt had doubled and been sacrificed over by Beckett Shimpa.
Adding to their lead in both the fourth and fifth innings with a three (3) and two (2) runs, respectively, the Maple Grove bats showed out in force, with some walks and plate discipline to boost their efforts. Schmidt led the way at the dish, going 3/3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI. Brody Berglin wasn't far behind, going 2/3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI of his own. Other hits came from Dylan Vokal (1/1, 2B), Riskedahl (1/3, RBI), Kaden harney (1/4), and Connor Wihlm (1/3, BB). Shimpa (2IP, 0R, 2H, 2K) closed things out on the hill for the Crimson as they improved their overall record to 2-2 (1-2 in NWSC).

Maple Grove Baseball Building With Young Team
1:23 PM | Wednesday, April 3, 2024 (CCX MEDIA)
The Maple Grove baseball team has a lot of young talent, and a year of experience gained last spring should help the Crimson climb in the standings. The Crimson played several freshmen last season during an 11-13 campaign.
The team took a spring trip to Florida and played six scrimmages there before returning to Minnesota to continue preparing for the season. The pitching and defense should be solid this spring, and if the offense comes through Maple Grove should be pretty good.
Pitcher/1st Baseman Sam Hagen, pitcher Evan O’Dwyer, shortstop Kaden Harney, and 3rd baseman Nathan Schmidt are a few of the key returners for the Crimson.
They hope to open the season Friday at Rogers if field conditions permit.
Please help us congratulate our D1 & D2 athletes listed below who signed their National Letters of Intent to play collegiate sports next year at the Division 1 or Division 2 level.
