Congratulations to the La Crescent Lancers, the 2009 MSHSL AA State Champions. The Lancers defeated Fergus Falls 5 to 3 earlier today to claim the title. Congratulations to Catcher Troy Traxler and Pitchers Brandon Verthein and Josh Sanden for being named to the all state team.
Fergus Falls actually out hit La Crescent 11 to 7, but La Crescent would only strand five during the game, compared to 11 stranded for Fergus Falls. Josh Sandven and Andrew Helland each had two RBIs a piece for the Lancers. Grant Travis did what he need to do on the mound, pitching six innings (and facing a batter in the seventh). Travis struck out four. Brandon Verthein came in to the game in relief, striking out the side for the state title.
The top of the third could have really changed the momentum in the game, as Fergus Falls loaded the bases with only one out, trailing three to one. Grant Travis then struck out the next two batters to escape the inning.
Congrats again to the Lancers on the state title!
