Blast 12 U Team Wins Big West B Title

By Bill Morgan, Staff Writer
 
The Becker Blast 12U Gold softball team took home the championship in the Big West B state qualifier two weeks ago in Chanhassen as they went 6-0 over the two days.  Saturday, they defeated Big Lake White and STMA White by scores of 15-2 and 13-1.  Sunday, they saw tougher competition, but the girls were up for the challenge as they defeated Brainerd by a score of 9-0, Westonka Black 2-1 and STMA Blue 8-2.  
 
This put them in the championship where they had a rematch with Brainerd and won 6-4.
 
The Blast 12U Gold softball team will be hosting the Minnesota ASA Tier 4 state championship this weekend.  
 
The tournament will feature 16 of the best Class B teams in the state and will take place Saturday and Sunday at the school softball complex.
