The opening round of the 2017 Section 6AAAA Baseball Tournament turned out to be a big night for Jack Carlson as he pitched a complete game and scored on a bases loaded walk by Aidan Schwob in the top of the seventh inning to lead the Minneapolis Washburn Millers to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Park Orioles Wednesday night at Derrick Keller Field.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third inning that began with a double from Jacob Stillman and he scored on Connor Cornell's RBI single. Cornell would score the Orioles second run on Carlson's wild pitch.
St. Louis Park would get solid started pitching from Riley Dvorak who walked one batter and struck out six through five innings. But in the top of the sixth. head coach Brian Kelly brought in Jack Elias to relive Dvorak and after retiring the first two batters, he gave a single to Schob, a walk to Clark Amann and an RBI single to John Ario to cut the lead to one. The Millers would tie the game as Elias balked home Amann.
Washburn would vault into the lead in the top of the seventh Carlson and Will Harlow reached base on singles. Elias retired Carter Wendtlandt on a called third strike and Jake Garrison flied out to the left fielder Brent Ryan. But Elias walked Sean King to load the bases and Schwob also walked to score Carlson. St. Louis Park got the tying run aboard in the bottom of the seventh on Jacob Stillman's single that would go for naught on pop ups from Elias and Cornell to end the game.
The Millers improve their record to 15-5 and will take on the Wayzata Trojans in the winners bracket on Friday, May 26 at 4:30 PM at Central Middle School in Plymouth. The Orioles fell to 9-11 and host the Minneapolis South Tigers in the losers bracket, also on the 26th at 7 PM at Derrick Keller Field.
