Delano Baseball Defeats Benilde-St. Margaret’s, Forces Winner-Take-All Section Final
Through four innings it was scoreless in the Section 6AAA baseball final. But consecutive one-run innings from Delano in the fifth and sixth is all the Tigers needed to defeat Benilde-St. Margaret’s 2-0 and force a winner-take-all section championship game on Friday night.
Both starting pitchers were in a zone all night with Benilde’s Connor Armand throwing nine strikeouts in six innings pitched and Delano’s Brody Geislinger going the distance and striking out ten Red Knight batters.
The Tigers final got on the scoreboard in the top of the fifth with an RBI single from Ethan Engelmann. Jackson Hinkle added an RBI single in the top of the sixth.
The Red Knights and Tigers will be back at Delano Municipal Stadium on Friday night at 6:00 with a ticket to the class AAA state tournament on the line.
