St Patrick - Bobcats drop second section 2A game despite strong Pitching Performance

The Bobcats travelled to St. Patrick on Friday night for a matchup with the Irish. Connor Hartley started on the mound and provided 7 strong innings. The tall right hander established all of his pitches early and sat down the Irish in order in the top of the 1st to match the Irish starter who had done the same. The Irish started a lefty, seemingly the 5th straight game a lefty has started against the Bobcats, townball scouting reports must show the Bobcats not being favorable against lefties.

The Irish scored in the bottom of the second on an rbi groundout. However the Bobcats would respond in the top of the third. A one out single from Gus McIntire was followed by a double by John Santelman and Zach Andreasen brought McIntire home with a sac fly to left field. The back to back hits from McIntire and Santelman would be the only hits the Bobcats would collect on the night.

Hartley had 4 innings where he set the Irish down in order and allowed just one hit after the third inning. He finished the night with 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 R, 1 BB, and 8 Ks.

Hunter Day made his Bobcat debut and set the Irish down in order in the 8th. The score remained tied at 1 heading into the ninth. The Bobcats were unable to push a run across in the top half of the inning.

For the Irish, a leadoff single and subsequent sacrifice bunt put the winning run in scoring position, a broken bat infield single moved runners to the corners, the runner on first moved up to second following a defensive indifference, the next batter grounded into a fielder’s choice to third as the runner was cutoff at the plate to keep the game tied. The following hitter hit a jam shot that landed near the pitcher’s mound and the defense was unable to make a play as the winning run scored from third and giving the Irish a 2-1 victory.

The Bobcats moved to 5-2 in section play and 8-4 overall. They continue section play tonight at home as they welcome the Victoria Vic’s to Alimagnet park for a 7:30 PM first pitch. We hope to see you there!

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Joe Schleper Stadium

A tightly contested pitchers’ duel came down to the final innings Tuesday night, as the Shakopee Indians edged the Burnsville Bobcats 2-1 in a game where every baserunner and defensive play carried extra significance.

For six innings, neither team could break through offensively. Burnsville starter Connor Hartley and the Shakopee pitching staff traded zeros while combining for dominant work on the mound. Hartley was especially sharp, scattering just three hits over seven innings while striking out eight and allowing only one run.

The Bobcats finally broke the scoreless deadlock in the top of the seventh. Noah Juliar singled and later came around to score on an RBI from Blake Tritch, giving Burnsville a 1-0 lead and putting them six outs away from victory.

Burnsville threatened throughout the contest, collecting six hits and drawing eight walks, but were unable to capitalize. The Bobcats stranded nine runners on base and left several scoring opportunities unanswered.

John Santelman paced the offense from the leadoff spot with a 2-for-5 performance, while Noah Juliar also recorded two hits and scored the club’s lone run. Zach Andreasen and Tim Urlaub added hits, and Tritch had the only RBI for Burnsville by drawing a bases loaded walk.

On the mound, Hartley turned in one of his strongest outings of the season. The right-hander allowed only one earned run over seven innings, walked two, and struck out eight while keeping the Indians off balance throughout the evening. Nick Meuser worked the eighth inning in relief, allowing one run while striking out two.

Defensively, Burnsville made several defensive plays including an outfield assist in the fourth from Santelman on a two out single two center. Santelman’s throw to the plate was in time to cut the runner at the plate and keep the game scoreless.

Despite the loss, Burnsville’s pitching staff continued its strong run of form, striking out 10 batters and limiting Shakopee to four hits. The difference ultimately came down to ex*****on in the late innings, as the Indians claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
