Hanska Bullheads
9 Prior Lake Mariners 1
|
|
|
Right hander Kyle Messner gave the
Hanska Bullheads a stellar pitching performance when they
needed it most Saturday night in Belle Plaine, as he overpowered
the Prior Lake Mariners in the MSMABA state tournament AA semi-final
game. Messner had assumed the role of "closer" all
season for Hanska, earning many saves, and usually throwing
only an inning or two per game in relief. But on this night,
he was asked to start the game in place of Terry Steinbach
who was nursing an injured knee. After allowing a lead-off
homerun on his 2nd pitch of the game, Messner fanned 16 and
scattered 5 other hits the rest of the way to earn the complete
game 9-1 victory. He also executed 2 other put-outs in
the contest, which left only 3 ground ball outs which were
recorded by the rest of the defense.
The Bullheads
scored in the top of the 1st inning on an error and base hits by
Dave Fauth and Tom Steinbach. The game remained tied until
the 4th when Mike Marquardt lead off with a solo homerun. Later
in the inning, with 2 outs and the bases loaded, Terry
Steinbach deposited a pitch over the left field wall for a
grand-slam giving Hanska a comfortable 7-1 lead. A Marquardt
double followed by a Brian Sieve single plated run #8 later that
same inning, and the final run was produced on base hits by Todd
Olson and Fauth in the 5th.
The state
championship game will be played Sunday in Jordan at 7:30 PM.
The Bullheads will face St. Peter in a re-match of the 2008 title
game,as the Saints defeated Shakopee in Saturday's other
AA semi-final game. Hanska has won the state title 3 of the
last 4 seasons including back-to-back titles in 2007 and 2008.

Hanska Bullheads
5 Jordan Millers 1
|
|
|
The Hanska Bullheads downed the
visiting Jordan Millers Sunday evening by a score of 5-1 to win
the 10 team Blue Division of the MSMABA River Valley Conference
with a record of 13-2. Hanska needed the victory to insure
the championship, as 2nd place St. Peter (with only 3 losses) was
breathing down their necks.
Winning
pitcher Terry Steinbach struck out 8 and scattered 6 hits over 6
innings, and Kyle Messner closed the door by striking out the side
in the 7th for the Bullheads. Steinbach and Millers' pitcher
Troy Mahoney had a 0-0 pitcher's duel going until the bottom of
the 4th when Mike Marquardt led off the inning by reaching first on
a throwing error. Bruce Jacobs entered the game to run for
Marquardt as he was injured on the play. Terry Steinbach
then doubled off the batter's eye in centerfield sending Jacobs to
3rd. Tom Steinbach sent a pop-up down the leftfield line and
the tagging Jacobs scored on the unbalanced throw home by the
shortstop. Hanska then added 4 runs in the 5th inning
as Dean Brinkman led off with a walk. Two runs were
plated on consecutive hits by Messner, John Giefer, Dave Fauth,
and Jacobs. With the bases loaded, Terry Steinbach walked to
force in run #4 and Tom Steinbach drove in the 5th run with his
2nd hit of the contest. Messner, Giefer, Todd Olson, and Tom
Steinbach each had 2 hit games for the Bullheads. Jordan's
centerfielder Brian Schroeder drove a Steinbach pitch over the
leftfield fence in the 6th inning to account for the only Millers
score of the evening.
The Bullheads
will host the Union Hill Pit-bulls in a exhibition game Sunday
Aug.16th at 3:00 PM, as they prepare to defend their 2008
MSMABA state championship. The tournament will be held over
the last 2 weekends of August in Jordan, Belle Plaine and Union
Hill.

The Prior Lake
Mariners defeated the Hanska Bullheads 3-0 Sunday afternoon in
Prior Lake. Whenever the Hanska hitters seemed to have a
rally going, Mariners' winning pitcher Jim Manfred was able
to get a ground ball or line drive hit right at his defense
for the big out. The game even ended that way. With
the bases loaded and 2 out, Tom Steinbach smashed a line drive to
Mariners 3rd baseman Joe Schutz. A few feet higher or down
the line, and the game would have been tied at 3-3.
Kevin Hulke was the tough luck losing pitcher for Hanska.
He threw the complete game, allowing just 2 earned runs on 5
hits. The Bullheads actually out hit Prior Lake 8-5 with
Brian Sieve going 3 for 3 and Hulke 2 for 3 in the contest.
With the loss, Hanska now drops to 11-2 in the MSMABA River Valley
Conference and 13-5 over-all. They travel to New Hope next
Sunday, for another Conference matchup with the Bandits at
3:00 PM.

Dave
Fauth led the Hanska Bullheads to a 4-2 victory Friday evening in
Union Hill. Fauth and Pitbulls pitcher Dave Hagene were
locked up in a pitching duel early in the contest and Union Hill
took a 1-0 lead in the 3rd inning without the benefit of a
hit.
A hit batter, a
walk, and a fielder's choice scored the run off Fauth. The
Bullheads came back though in the 5th, scoring all 4 of their
runs. Al Felber walked to lead off the inning, Bruce Jacobs
followed with a sacrifice bunt, and Kyle Messner reached on an
error. After a pop-up for the 2nd out of the
inning, Mike Marquardt walked to load the bases. Fauth then
sent a bases clearing double to the fence in left-center field.
Tom Steinbach then drove in Fauth with a double to the
right-center gap for Hanska's final tally.
Over
his 6 innings of work Fauth allowed just 3 singles. He
struck out 4, walked 4, and hit one Union Hill batter.
Messner recorded the save on the mound, throwing a scoreless
7th inning, he also collected 2 of the 4 Bullhead hits on the
evening.
The Bullheads (11-1 in the River Valley Conference, and
13-4 over-all) travel to Prior Lake for a 2:00 PM game
Sunday.

Marquardt executed a perfect sacrifice bunt moving the runners
into scoring position, and Dave Fauth promptly delivered a 2 run

Shakopee
Chiefs 7 Hanska
Bullheads 5
|
|
|
On the strength of good
pitching, excellent defense, and some timely hitting,
the Shakopee Chiefs overcame a 3 run Hanska 1st inning to defeat
the Bullheads 7-5 Sunday evening. After a Kyle Messner
lead-off base hit, Mike Marquardt, Dave Fauth, and Terry Steinbach
singled ahead of a Tom Steinbach 1 out double to account for
the 3 runs. Shakopee pitcher Brad VanBerger then
scattered just 6 more hits and got some help from his defense to
hold the Bullheads to single runs in the 4th and 7th innings.
A 7th inning rally fell short for Hanska as a game tying homerun
bid off the bat of Marquardt was pulled in with a leaping grab off
the fence at the 353-foot marker by the Chiefs' center fielder.
Marquardt, Fauth, and Tom Steinbach led the offence with multi-hit
games, and Fauth and Terry Steinbach each threw 3 innings for the
Bullheads. Steinbach was the losing pitcher as Shakopee
scored 3 to tie the game in the 2nd inning, and 4 in the 4th for
the win.

Bullheads 4 Northfield Millers 0
|
|
|
After a couple of non-conference losses Saturday in their annual
"Fishbowl Tournament" the Hanska Bullheads bounced back
to shutout the Northfield Millers 4-0 in Dundas on
Sunday to up their Conference leading record to 9-0. The
Minnetonka Lakers won Saturday's tournament opener 7-6 over the
Bullheads. The Miesville Groupers then bested Minnetonka 6-0
in game two, and Hanska 6-3 in the finale to take home the winning
trophy.
In Sunday's win over Northfield, Dave Fauth and Kyle Messner
combined to pitch a no-hitter. In 6 innings of work, Fauth
fanned 11 and walked just 1. Messner struck out 2
to close out the game for Hanska. The Bullheads did all
their scoring early in the contest. With 2 out in the 1st,
John Giefer drilled a single to left. Fauth followed with a
double into the right-center gap, and Tom Steinbach drove in
Giefer with a base hit. A Doug Ekstrom double brought
in Fauth for the 2nd run of the inning, and Steinbach
scored on an errant throw by the catcher.. Consecutive base
hits from Bruce Gieseke, Bruce Jacobs, Messner, and Todd Olson
accounted for the final Hanska tally in the 2nd.
The Bullheads have the next week off, and resume play Monday July
6th in Fairfax at the annual "Twins Fun Night"
game.

Hanska
Bullheads 4 St. Peter Saints 2
|
|
|
Following a thrilling come from
behind 4-3 extra inning win over Bloomington on Saturday, the
Hanska Bullheads picked up a couple more hard fought home field
victories on Sunday June 21st.
A Tom
Steinbach 3rd inning grand slam home run accounted for all the Bullhead
runs in a 4-2 win over the St. Peter Saints in a 1:00PM River
Valley Conference game. The Steinbach blast followed walks
to John Giefer and Dave Fauth, and a Mike Marquardt hit-by-pitch.
Fauth earned the win on the mound going 6 innings,
scattering seven hits, and striking out 7. Kyle Messner
picked up the save, fanning 3 hitters in the final frame.
After Slayton
defeated St. Peter 15-0 in the 3:00PM contest, Hanska and
Slayton got together for a non-conference game in the nightcap.
Messner, the winning pitcher, not only threw a complete game
4 hit victory, but provided most of the offense for Hanska as
well. Trailing 1-0 with one out in the 4th inning,
Steinbach grounded a base hit to left. Following a
Brian Sieve sacrifice bunt, Al Felber and Bruce Jacobs walked to
load the bases. Messner then connected for a 2 out
bases-clearing double giving the Bullheads and Messner all the
runs they would need for the win. Another insurance run was
added in the 6th on a Felber hit, a couple of walks, and a
throwing error by the catcher as his throw caromed off the
runner's helmet. The Slayton line-up included 2 former
area high school players: Mike Wenninger and Terry Boelter.
They are a new team for 2009 and are an at-large team in the
MSMABA this season.
On Saturday
June 27th, Hanska will host the second annual
"Fish Bowl" tournament. The Bullheads will play
10:30 and 3:30 games, and their opponents, the Miesville
Groupers and Minnetonka Lakers will get together for a 1:30
contest. The tournament site rotates locations each year,
and was played at Miesville in 2008.

Hanska
Bullheads 4 Bloomington Eagles 3 (8 innings)
|
|
|
For 6 innings, Bloomington
right-hander Scott McNalley and his Eagle defense frustrated
the Bullheads' hitters Saturday afternoon in Hanska. Until
the bottom of the 7th inning, McNalley seemed to wiggle out of
every jam with a big strikeout or one of the 3 double plays turned
by his infield. Tom Steinbach's lead-off homer in the 7th
seemed to ignite the Bullhead offense, as they then added 2 more
runs in the inning to tie the Eagles in regulation. Brian
Sieve followed Steinbach's homer with a single, and Scott
Suprenaunt cracked a double (his 3rd hit of the game) sending
Sieve to 3rd. Eagle third baseman Scott Kloiber then robbed
Bruce Jacobs of a base hit with a diving stop in the hole and a
perfect throw to first as Sieve scampered home with the
Bullheads 2nd run. After a pop-up out to the catcher, Myron
Seidl sent a deep fly ball into the left field corner for a big
two out double, scoring the tying run. Mike Marquardt and
Steinbach started the winning 8th inning rally with back to back
base hits, and Sieve ended it with a sacrifice fly scoring the
sliding Marquardt on a close play at home. Winning
pitcher Kevin Hulke went the distance for Hanska allowing just 2
earned runs, scattering 11 hits, and striking out 8
Eagle hitters.
With the win, the
Bullheads improve to 7-0 in River Valley Conference play, and
Bloomington drops to 3-3.

Hanska
Bullheads 6 Belle Plaine Gray Tigers 0
|
|
|
The Belle Plaine Gray Tigers became the 4th consecutive shutout
victim of the Hanska Bulheads Sunday evening June 14th as Hanska's
starting pitcher Tom Steinbach threw a 2 hit / 6 strikeout gem
over 6 innings of work to earn the 6-0 win. Closer,
Kyle Messner fanned 2 and allowed 1 hit in the final frame.
The game began with a misplayed grounder off the bat of lead-off
hitter Todd Olson. Gray Tiger pitcher Terry Knopp then
walked Messner and Mike Marquardt to load the bases for Dave Fauth.
Fauth promptly doubled in 2 runs and Dan Erdman drove in the 3rd run
on an infield error. Knopp was then able to silence the
Bullhead bats until the 6th inning when Bruce Jacobs led off with
a single. Messner followed with a single and Marquardt
again walked to set the table for Fauth once again. Another
Fauth hit netted 2 more RBIs, and Erdman drove in the final
Hanska run with his 2nd base hit of the game.
The Bullheads are now 6-0 in MSMABA River Valley
Conference play and 7-1 over-all. They will host Bloomington
at Hanlin field on Saturday June 20th in a 2:00 PM contest. St.
Peter and Slayton will then be Hanska's guest opponents
on Sunday the 21st. at 1:00 and 5:00, and will play each
other at 3:00 PM.

After
trailing 7-6 into their last at-bat, the Hanska Bullheads scored
six 7th inning runs to defeat the Veseli Vulcans 12-7 Friday

6-1 lead, but the Vulcans plated 6 runs in the 6th to set up the
Bullhead comeback. Fauth and Steinbach singled to lead off
the 7th inning, and after a Sieve walk loaded the bases, a Doug
Ekstrom single drove in 2 to put the Bullheads on top.
Al Felber and Kyle Messner singles produced the final Hanska
insurance runs.
Messner pitched the final inning and 2/3 in relief of
Steinbach, including fanning the side in the 7th, to earn the
win. Fauth started the game on the mound for the Bullheads
allowing just 1 unearned run and fanning 6 in 4 innings of work.
