Trojan advance to 1AAAA title game

The New Prague Trojan baseball team, seeded No. 7 in Section 1AAAA, won two games Saturday, June 3, to advance to the Section Championship game against top-seeded Lakeville North. 

In both games, the Trojans grabbed an early lead and held off comeback attempts. In the first elimination game, New Prague defeated Lakeville South 5-4, with the game ending when right fielder Jacob Mader and relay man Carter Seymour gunned down a runner trying to score from second on a base hit. 

In game 2, the Trojan built an 8-2 lead over Farmington, then watched the Tigers' seventh-inning rally fall short in an 8-6 win. 

New Prague (12-10) and Lakeville North (18-5) play at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 6, at Memorial Park in Dundas, in the championship round of the double-elimination tournament. If New Prague wins the 5 p.m. game, a second game will follow with the section title on the line. If North wins either game, they are the section champs.
