BREAKING NEWS! Cardinals avoid arbitration with the batboys and reach an agreement to bring all three back for 2020. Only cost us an additional 30 pieces of bubble gum.

It was a big day in the Whittaker house as Winona St. took on Concordia-St. Paul. Dillon tossed a complete game three-hitter in game two for a 9-1 WSU win over Roch and the Golden Bears. Roch, Sr. and mom Lisa got creative with their outfits.
#YACsquad
Before enjoying a cold beverage, Lenzy dealt nine complete in an 8-1 win over Burnsville.
Rocher hits a big fly and collects three hits. He’s joined in the three hit parade by Brayden Kohls.

It took 11 innings, but we take down the defending Class B champs Chanhassen 8-5.
Brice Panning was brilliant on the bump, and Jordan Harms gets the win in relief.
Logelin and Peters go deep, Lenz and Anderson get big hits in the 11th.
#YACsquad
Sunday Funday anyone? Cards are heading back to state with a 5-0 win over Winsted.
@Whittaker33
deals scattering five hits and striking out nine. Hey

Funny. Our tickets have been capped at $5 for a few years now. You also get a better seat, better food, don’t pay for parking and your favorite adult beverage is affordable. We’ll even pay you a quarter if you return a foul ball.
ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM: The
@Twins
have the second-best record in the MLB right now, and they've just announced $5 tickets are available for the remaining 12 home games in May. There's no excuse not to get out to Target Field. |
Congrats to
@joshlenz24
and three other guys for winning the Nickle Dickle Day 3-on-3 hoops tournament. By winning, they’re safe from being moved up. Had they finished third, there would have been reclassification.
Congrats to the
@jordanbrewers
and
@chanredbirds
on their state titles.
Also, congrats to everyone associated with
@mbastate19
. A very first-class experience for all players and fans. It was our honor to be a part of it.
#YACsquad
We are moving on! After falling behind 3-0 early, the Cardinals rally for a 5-4 victory over Raymond.
We’re next in action Sunday at 1:30 vs New Market. The game is in Shakopee. See you there, Cardinal Nation!
#YACsquad
A 12-run 6th inning is highlighted by not one, but two, grand slams from
@AlexLogelin5
and
@calebhormann
in our 15-0 over St. Boni.
For ‘Sticky’ it’s his first town ball dinger.
We’re at Brownton Wednesday night - 7:30 p.m.

#ForSticky
Nimrod weekend is in the books. We played three games. We didn’t win one. We have headaches. But once again, we awarded ourselves with the Life of the Party trophy.
Thanks
@Nimrod_Gnats
for another great time….can’t wait for next year!
Survive and advance! It wasn’t time for this year to be over. Our family needed another weekend together.
We outlast an outstanding
@LuverneRedbirds
team with a thrilling 5-4 win.
Labor Day weekend....how sweet it is!
#YACsquad
So it’s finally happening. Opening Day is tomorrow night at Wilkommen. We’ll be hosting
@SLPTownTeam
at 7:30. There will be no concessions for this game so please BYOB and snacks. Also, no admission for the first game.
#YACsquad
We fall 2-1 to a really good
@SLPTownTeam
that ends our season.
Josh Lenz is a straight dawg….deals eight, allows just four hits and battles the heat.
Tonight we’re playing “Find a Cardinal” at your nearby pub. Buy a player a beer and you’ll get a picture.
#YACsquad
We’d like to thank
@NPShakJor2018
for being such great hosts the last three weekend’s. It goes without saying....but, we had a blast. Well done and thanks for putting on a great show. We feel blessed to have been a part of it.
#YACsquad
We kick off state tournament play tonight against the
@IsantiRedbirds
at 7:30 in Delano.
If you can’t make it to the game, it will be broadcast on 1310-KGLB, and you can also listen on their KGLB app.
#YACsquad
It felt pretty good being back at the park, and getting a win is even better. We scored two in the B9 to rally for the 7-6 win over
@SLPTownTeam
.
@AlexLogelin5
had two hits, including an RBI double to tie it in the 9th. We’re at New Germany this Sunday at 2.
#YACsquad
The one and only
@1500ESPN_Reusse
today named
@BricePanning
his sports person of the day. I guess catching seven passes for 143 yards, a 2-for-5 game with three RBI and then going 6-for-7 with three RBI does it. Listen to hour
#2
at the 21-minute mark.
The Cardinals annual Red Lake fishing trip has come to a close. One of the highlights was Matt Mann doing Matt Mann things. He caught this with his bare hands.
#YACsquad
We take home the consolation trophy at the
@Nimrod_Gnats
Invitational this past weekend going 2-1. A fun time was had by all....in fact, so much fun was had we made multiple stops on the way home so guys could feel better.
#YACsquad
#ThanksGnats
Hats off to the
@IsantiRedbirds
on a well played game. They’re a very, very good baseball team. Great season, guys! It’s a shame one of us had to lose.
The Cardinals are together tonight for their annual Region 7C fantasy player draft.
Here’s a live look at the war room. As you can tell, things are very intense.
Draft results will be posted later.
#YACsquad
And just like that, we’re once again playing baseball tonight.
We’ll be traveling to Bird Island for an 8 p.m. game. They’re hosting Fox 9’s town ball tour tonight, so if you can’t make the drive, you might catch a glimpse of us on TV.
#YACsquad
Good luck later today to
@gslbaseball
and these two YACsquaders, Logan Christenson and Damion Schwartz. They’re playing in the section final vs. Watertown-Mayer at 5. Go get those dubs, boys!
#YACsquad
Trailing 5-3 going to the 8th, we plate eight runs to blow the game open.
@roch_whittaker
chips in a grand slam for good measure in the 9th, and
@BricePanning
picks up the win in relief. Final score from Watertown is 15-5 for the good guys. We’re at Waconia Thursday.
#YACsquad
Matt Mann is 79 years old and still can lift a player over his shoulders less than half his age.
#Region7C
championship game tomorrow in Cologne at noon.
#YACsquad
#RingTheDamnBell
Find someplace to sit in silence today and be grateful for your personal freedoms....remembering those who made it possible by paying the ultimate sacrifice.
When you’ve completed that, come join us in Green Isle as we battle the
@GI_Irish
at 5 p.m.
#YACsquad
State tournament all-tourney team trophies for
@joshlenz24
and
@IsaacHormann
....we’re thinking about trading them in for a couple pitchers of beer at King Pin.
***UPDATE***
The Young America Cardinals are your
#Region7C
champions! Due to rain, the remaining games today are postponed. Carver-GI will resume tomorrow at 10, and the winner plays Cologne after for the second seed. No game following that.
#YACsquad
#NewSeasonStartsNow
How tough is
@yacardinals
’ Matt Mann at the plate? Take a look.
2018 Season
27-for-63 (.429 AVG)
2019 Season
25-for-60 (.417 AVG)
Over the past two seasons, Mann has 123 at-bats during league games. He’s struck out four times. That’s insane.
#HJSports
Good start to
#Region7C
for the good guys.
@joshlenz24
was just stupid good on the bump, and Isaac Hormann and Matt Mann each pitched in a couple hits in the 3-0 win.
We’re back in action tomorrow at 3 vs. the winner for Winsted/Glencoe. Trip to state on the line!
