The Chatfield Gophers will take on the Royalton Royals in the state Class A baseball tournament Thursday, June 12th at 3pm in Chaska. The Royals of Royalton were a #7 seed in the section 5A tournament, entering with just a 6-10 record. A team with just two seniors, they have relied on a sophomore & freshman pitcher to lead them to a number of nail-biting wins and a section title. It was a wild section, as other than the first round vs. #2 seed BBE, the Royals never had to play another team seeded higher than 4th. Chatfield had to fight through the elimination bracket almost entirely, meaning both teams have big-time momentum on their side, and the feeling that they can keep right on rolling at state!
