Fergus Falls Post 30 traveled to Perham to play in the second round of the Sub-State 14 playoffs. Post 30 played well but ultimately fell to a good East Grand Forks squad 6-3. 

Isaac Ellison started on the mound (1.1IP, 2H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 2K), Carston Fronning came on in relief and gave us a chance to win (4.2IP, 6H, 3R, 1ER, 1BB, 2K) 

Leading hitters for Post 30 were Brock Scheurman (1-2, 2B, RBI), Fronning (1-2), Owen Kreuger (1-3, RBI), and Ethan Gronwold (1-3, RBI). 

Post 30 loaded the bases in the top of the first but couldn’t push any runs across. Logan Larson drew a lead-off walk, and after consecutive strikeouts Krueger singled to left and Scheurman was hit by a pitch. Gronwold hit his pitch hard, unfortunately right at the center fielder. 

EGF struck for 3 runs in the bottom of the second inning via 2 walks, 3 hits and one error. Post 30 answered right back in the top half of the third inning. Larson walked and Evan Lindgren was hit by a pitch. Krueger scored Larson with a sacrifice fly to left field to bring the score to 3-1. Scheurman doubled to deep centerfield to bring Post 30 within 1. Gronwold then singled sharply to centerfield to score Scheurman and tie the game at 3. 

EGF added 1 run in the fifth and 2 runs in the sixth inning. Post 30 put runners on base in the last three innings but couldn’t get the big hit to bring the game any closer. Give EGF credit, they played very well defensively and hit the ball hard all game long. 

A big thank you to all the seniors and super seniors that provided leadership this summer. As a coaching staff we value everything they have brought this summer and prior to the ball club. I am very grateful for everything the Legion does for our boys that they are able to play the great game of baseball and represent Post 30. Last but not least, I’d like to thank both my assistant coaches Tosten Mann and Brock Kotschevar for their work and dedication to the program. Their work with the players and how they interact with the guys is second to none!”
