Both DC Saints pitchers drafted by other North Star League teams saw action in the second weekend of the Class C State Tournament.

• Jordan Flick, drafted by the Delano A’s (the top seed from Region 12C) was called on extensively Saturday at Milroy against the Carver Black Sox.

Flick entered the game in the sixth inning with the A’s down 2-1, and two runners on with no outs.

Flick gave up two hits in the sixth, allowing those two inherited runners to score, but settled down after that, allowing no runs in the seventh, eighth and ninth.

Officially, Flick threw four shutout innings, giving up three hits and no walks, while striking out three.

Unfortunately, the Delano bats were silent most of the game in a 4-2 loss to Carver.

• The season will continue, however, for Saints lefthander Tyler Zweibohmer.

Zweibohmer threw a perfect seventh inning for the Buffalo Bulldogs in their 8-2 win over  the Morris Eagles at Springfield Sunday.

‘Z’ needed just 10 pitches in the inning, inducing three weak ground balls.

Buffalo will face Foley Friday, Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Springfield.

The third annual Jacob’s Way of Life 5K Run/Walk will be held Sunday, Oct. 4, beginning at the Dassel Rod and Gun Club.

Jacob MacDonald passed away in the fall of 2017 after an allergic reaction. MacDonald, a three-sport athlete, was a sophomore linebacker on the DC football team at the time, and would have graduated last spring.

Last year, with the help of some amazing volunteers, Jacob’s Way of Life raised almost $19,000 and was able to support many families going through hardship in the following communities: Silver Lake, Howard Lake, Hutchinson, Dassel, Watertown, Cokato, Winsted, and Annandale.

More information will be provided in the near future.
