We are Grantsburg Subscribe

The Grantsburg baseball team is headed to sectionals tomorrow. Their first game is at 11am versus Elk Mound and when they win they will play again at 5pm.

Thanks to Deb Allaman-Johnson for the map and directions. You can see the ball field in the lower left-hand part of the map. (I would’ve just linked to the baseball site, but the Grantsburg school’s website is too cool for me to figure out the links.)

Turn off I-94 @ Osseo. Take hwy 10 West. Follow to west side of town. Ballpark on the north side of hwy 10…take county road K. See aerial map above.

If you can’t make it to the game be sure to tune into 105.7 WXCX for the play-by-play.

Go Pirates!

Congratulations to the Grantsburg Pirates. They won tonight 9-2 against the second seed Clayton/Turtle Lake team.

The Pirates advance to the Sectionals which will be held in Osseo-Fairchild next Tuesday. Their first game starts at 11am and should they win that one they will play at 5pm that evening. Their first game is against the Elk Mound Mounders (17-4 first place in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference). Bracket

The Grantsburg pitching was outstanding tonight as Jimmy Nelson and Nolan Hanson combined for eight strike outs in seven innings. The third inning was the only inning the Clayton/Turtle Lake squad got anything going and it was on the strength of a bloop hit to left and a high chopper in front of home plate. Both of those players came around to score that inning and that was it for them for the game.

I really appreciate the fans at the ballpark. They are very passionate about their home team and are per capita the loudest fans I think Grantsburg has.

Grantsburg is on a roll right now winning their eleventh game in a row (looks like I had a bad source in the previous post).

Congratulations and good luck!
