As the Mainstreeter junior stole third the ball got by the catcher, allowing Buschette to score and leaving Sauk Centre up by one. Minnewaska had no answer in the bottom of the seventh as Pat Knoblac

To do so, the Cardinals had to rally back from a fourth place finish on day one "It was a great day two for the boys, shooting a 310 to combine with their day one score of 313 to come from behind and win the Section 8AAA golf meet," said head coach Rick Larson. "With three teams ahead of us, we had our work cut out for us.
