O'Dwyer pitches, Taynton and Shimpa hit blasts, Crimson Win
Box Score 4/22/2025
Maple Grove 9, Elk River 1
Junior Evan O'Dwyer (W, 6IP, 4H, 0ER, 5K) pitched a masterful six innings for the win, the Crimson got their bats going again at Gleason Fields, and the Elks were sent home defeated. The Maple Grove scoring started in the second inning with a lead-off double to left-center from sophomore Vince Lenmark (1/3, HBP, 2B, 2R) and an RBI single from junior Oliver Taynton (2/3, HR, 4RBI, R). After a scoreless third inning from both sides, Elk River struck back with a run in the top of the fourth to tie things up. However, O'Dwyer would shut the ER offense down for the next two innings while the Crimson bats woke up and did some damage.
With the scored set at 1-1, and the Elks having scored in the top of the fourth, the home squad responded with force in the bottom half of the inning. Senior Maddex Van Slooten (3BB, 2R, SB) led off with walk which was followed by a Lenmark hit-by-pitch to put two runners on with nobody out. Taynton then deposited the third pitch of his at-bat over the right field fence for the first Crimson home run of the season. But the scoring in the inning wasn't complete; a walk from junior Kaden Harney (1/2, BB, RBI, R, 2SB) and an infield single from senior Ian Schock (1/3, R, SB) set the table for another three-run bomb from sophomore Beckett Shimpa (2/4, 3RBI, R). Harney singled home a run in the fifth, and junior Ian Farley sharply scored on an errant pitch in the sixth to bring the Crimson run total to nine, and senior Brody Berglin (1IP, 1H, 0R, 2K) shut the door in the seventh.
Huskies Strike Early, Add Runs, and Hold On vs Crimson
Box Score 4/17/2025
Andover 6, Maple Grove 4
The Huskies started the scoring in the first inning with a lead-off double that scored after an error during the subsequent play. The visitors added another run with a single and a fielder's choice and finished the preliminary tally with a third run scoring on a two-out wild pitch. Maple Grove plated a run of their own in the bottom of the inning. Senior Connor Wilhm (1/3, BB) led off with a walk and courtesy runner Ian Farley advanced to second and third on wild pitches before scoring on sophomore Beckett Shimpa's (2/3, RBI, BB) double.
Unfortunately, the Crimson could not plate another run in the first, second, or third and Andover added three more of their own in the the top half of the fourth with two walks, a hit-by-pitch, and a two-out three-run double. With the score set at 6-1, the home team scratched back a run in the bottom of the fourth when junior Kaden Harney (1/4, RBI) singled in a run. MG added two more runs in the fifth as senior Connor Johnson's (2BB, RBI, R) walk forced in a run and a wild pitch brought home another. However, with the bases loaded and nobody out, the Crimson could not bring home the final two runs needed to tie the game, grounding out twice and striking out to end the inning and the rally.
The sixth and seventh innings remained scoreless for both teams, with junior Matthew Kuno (3.1IP, 2H, 0R, 2K) coming in to squelch the Husky hitters, and the Crimson crew not able to produce runs themselves. Maple Grove did attempt a rally in the seventh with singles from Shimpa and junior Oliver Taynton (1/2, 2BB); however, the pair were left stranded and the Crimson fell for the fourth time in a row this season.
Maple Grove Baseball Falls to Buffalo
Thursday, April 17, 2025
The Maple Grove baseball team lost its third straight game Wednesday, falling 7-2 to Buffalo in a non-conference game.
Nolen Mullenbach hit a two-run double in the third inning and Caleb Johnson bashed a three-run homer in the fifth to lead the Buffalo hitting attack. Aiden Marconett pitched five innings for the win for the Bison. Oliver Taynton knocked in both of Maple Grove’s runs with a fourth-inning single.
Maple Grove is now 3-4 with the loss; Buffalo improved to 3-2.
Maple Grove Baseball Doubles-Up Eden Prairie
Monday, April 14, 2025
Maddex Van Slooten recorded three RBI’s, with Connor Wihlm and Brody Berglin each adding two RBI’s in Maple Grove baseball’s 10-5 win over Eden Prairie.
After the Eagles scored on a home run in the first inning, the Crimson rattled off seven unanswered runs. Wihlm hit two ground-rule doubles over the fence, first in the fourth inning and then again in the sixth. Ian Schock earned the win on the mound, striking out five and only giving up three runs.
Over the weekend, Maple Grove lost to Mahtomedi 4-3.
