Photos of 2009 Class B State Game 5: Monday, September 7, 2009
The Shakopee Indians were looking to break a 50 year drought as state champions in Arlington on this splendid Labor Day afternoon. The opponent was league and section rival the Prior Lake Jays. These two teams were meeting for the 6th time of the season, and the Indians had won 3 of the previous 5 including the last two. Well you can make that 4 of the 6 meetings this year and three in a row over the RVL league champions!! This game was scoreless entering the 5th inning when Weigel's Warriors finally broke through with four huge runs to take the commanding lead. The Indians would score another in the 6th before the Jays managed their only tally of the game in the top of the 7th, and that was all the scoring for the day... and we have a brand new state Class B baseball champion, and it's YOUR Shakopee Indians!! Fifty years of "wait 'til next year", fifty years of what if's, fifty years of "how the hell did that happen?", fifty years of kicking your dog.......but it's SO MUCH sweeter when you have to wait that long. I guess it makes you appreciate it a little bit more. Tournament MVP and Chaska Cub draftee Ryan Seifert was given the game ball by coach Weigel, and he did just what he was told to do...now that's great coaching! Seifert needed no relief as he went the distance, Jack Morris style, allowing just a single run and only two hits. For the tourney he went 1-0 with 3 saves posting an ERA of 1.15 while striking out 23 batters in 23 innings pitched and just allowed a measley 9 hits---holy smokes!! He pitched in all 5 tournament games for his favorite team from across the river. The Indian offense sputtered once again, but finally managed to break through in the 5th inning on a two out bases loaded walk to veteran Tim Piechowski plating the 1st run. Lance Siedow followed with a 2 run single and player/manager Brannon Weigel topped the inning off with another RBI base hit. Aaron Olson put a capper on the scoring with a long bomb over the trees in leftfield to give the Indians the insurmountable 5-0 lead with just 3 innings to play. Joey Heller chipped in a pair of singles and Olson was also banged by a couple of pitches to help pace the offense. Chris Rupert, Justin Johnson(draftee from Chaska), Aaron Olson and Lance Siedow all joined Seifert on the all-tournament team. We would like to congratuate the PL Jays on a great season finishing 30-9 overall. It was awesome to show the state what kind of talent comes out of the River Valley League & Section 3B year after year-it's very difficult to even qualify for the big dance with the level of teams that play in this section. Not to mention the draft choices for both teams who were at all the games and contributed mightily to both teams success-thank you! Thanks to ALL of the Shakopee Indian fans out there who showed up and those who couldn't make it as well. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT and look to see you at the ballpark in 2010...stay tuned to www.shakopeebaseball.com for steak fry dates and your Indians 2010 schedule to be posted in March. Thanks to Coach Weigel for the awesome job and to ALL the Indian players who gave so much time and effort to make this season a huge success! Thanks to Christy Weigel for all your hardwork running the concession stand and all those who volunteered to help her out! Thanks to John "Swamp" Miller for taking tickets at EVERY home game for the Indians...we couldn't do it without you!! Thanks as well to our draftees, Ryan Seifert, Justin Johnson & Trent Bohnsack for your commitment to the Indians over the past 3 weeks-it's appreciated!! Great job fellas! Let's try and do this more often...if you don't mind?? |
