JV -  Mon, May 19, 2008  -  Roseville 15, Mounds View 13

The JV finished its season with a 15-13 loss at Roseville on Monday.

The game started out well for the Mustangs as they jumped out to a 7-0 lead after the first half of the first inning. Roseville never gave up and the JV kept them in the game with a number of walks and errors.  The Mustangs just couldn't score enough to make up for their miscues as they finished the season on a losing note. Jesse Nickols, Ben Houle and John Evangelist all drove in at least three runs for the offense. The Mustangs finish the season at 13-6. (Coach Courtright)

 

 

JV - Fri, May 16, 2008  -  Mounds View 13, Woodbury 3

The JV got off to a fast start against Woodbury at Kohler on Friday. Woodbury scored a run in the top of the first and the Mustangs answered with nine of their own and never looked back. The 13-3 victory was a total team effort as all starters made significant contributions to the outcome. Starting pitcher Jeff Anderson went the full 5 innings allowing only 1 earned run and 3 hits while striking out 6 Woodbury hitters. Kyle Mauricio, Ben Houle and Taylor Cole led the offense. The JV record stands at 13-5 going into the final game of the season at Roseville. (Coach Courtright)

JV - Tue, May 13, 2008  -  Cretin Derham-Hall 9, Mounds View 7

The JV played maybe one of their best games of the season at Cretin on Tuesday. Even though they came out on the wrong end of a 9-7 nine inning game, the Mustangs battled through the rain and wet field conditions to execute in all facets of the game.  The Mustang pitchers Josh Balzer, Alex Hoffman, Jason Porten and Jeff Anderson all worked well off the mound against a well balanced Cretin line-up. Offensively the JV was led by Jesse Nickols, who hit his second homerun of the season and Nick Doncits, who went 4 for 5 at the plate while driving in 2 runs. The loss drops the JV record to 10-5. Next game on Wednesday vs. Totino Grace at Kohler.  (Coach Courtright)

 

JV - Fri, May 9, 2008  -  Stillwater 8, Mounds View 4

The JV lost their fourth game of the season to Stillwater at Kohler on Friday. The Mustangs faced probably the best pitching that they have seen to date in the 8-4 loss. The Stillwater pitching held the JV to only six hits in the game. Solid pitching was also in place for the Mustangs as Jason Porten and Andy Osborne put forth solid efforts.  The Mustang defense, however was not up to the task as it committed seven errors in the game. Looking to bounce back the JV will play Cretin at Cretin on Tuesday. The JV record stands at 10-4.  (Coach Courtright)

 

JV -  Thu, May 8, 2008  -  Mounds View 6, Park 5

Kyle Mauricio, who picked up the win, went two and Jesse Nickols closed out the game for the save.  Next game is at Kohler on Friday against Stillwater. The JV record is now at 10-3.  (Coach Courtright)

 

 JV -  Tue, May 6, 2008  -  Mounds View 10, Hastings 0

Next game is Thursday at Park. (Coach Courtright)

 

JV -  Mon, May 5, 2008  -  Mounds View 9, Woodbury 3

The Mustang pitching never let Woodbury get going. Starter Jeff Anderson went four scoreless innings while striking out 6 and allowing only 3 hits. Eric Bradley followed allowing only 2 hits and striking out 5 in his three innings of work.  The win moves the JV record to 8-3. Next game is Tuesday vs. Hastings at McCullough. (Coach Courtright)

 

JUNIOR VARSITY  -  Thu, May 1, 2008  - 

White Bear Lake 1, Mounds View 0

The JV got their best pitching performance of the year against White Bear Lake on Thursday. Jason Porten pitched the entire game for the Mustangs allowing only one run. Unfortunately the Mustang offense was held scoreless and the pitching gem was wasted. The game had no score until the bottom of the seventh inning when a White Bear hitter was able to single in the winning run through a drawn in infield. The Mustangs had several chances to score, but were never able to get that one hit needed to drive in a run. The loss drops the JV record to 7-3. Next up at Roseville on Friday. (Coach Courtright)

 

JV -  Tue, April 29, 2008  -  Forest Lake 14, Mounds View 10

The JV suffered their second loss of the season to Forest Lake in a wild 14-10 game at Kohler on Tuesday. The game had a number of lead changes as both teams had opportunities every inning. The Mustangs led by as many as five runs but were not able to hold off Forest Lake who scored in all but one inning. The loss put the JV record at 7-2. Next game is at White Bear Lake on Thursday.  (Coach Courtright)

 

JV -  Mon, April 28, 2008  -  Mounds View 6, White Bear Lake 4

The JV survived the weather and White Bear Lake with a 6-4 win on Monday at Kohler. Cold temps kept the bats from heating up for the Mustangs, yet they were able to do enough at the plate and on the bases to keep the Bears in hibernation. Starter Josh Balzer pitched 5 strong innings and Alex Hoffman went the final 2 to pick up the save. The Mustangs offense was led by Jason Porten, Matt Stoltman and Ben Houle who all had a multi hit game. The win moves the JV record to 7-1. Next up is Forest Lake at Kohler on Tuesday. (Coach Courtright)

 

JUNIOR VARSITY  -  Wed, April 23, 2008  - 

Mounds View 7, Spring Lake Park 0

Jeff Anderson came in and pitched the final 2 innings striking out the side in the 6th inning and setting Spring Lake Park in order to end the game.  Offensively the Mustangs had trouble getting on track until late scoring 5 of their 7 runs in the final two innings. George Severson and Bill Thompson had key RBI�s late in the game. The win improves the JV record to 6-1. Next game is Friday at Woodbury.  (Coach Courtright)

JV  -  Fri, April 18, 2008  -  Stillwater 10, Mounds View 6

The JV suffered its first loss of the season at Stillwater on Friday. The Mustangs just never seemed to get on track in cold rain. Stillwater, aided by a 8 run second inning, went on to win 10-6. The JV bats were cooled down by the Ponies pitching and the Mustangs pitching never got into rhythm.  The loss drops the JV record to 4-1.  (Coach Courtright)

 

JV  -  Thu, April 17, 2008  -  Mounds View 11, Park 1

The JV stayed on course with an 11-1 win in 6 innings over the Park Wolfpack on Thursday at Kohler. The win keeps the JV undefeated at 4-0. Scoring runs in all but one inning, the Mustangs started fast and never looked back. Andy Osborne started the game and even though he didn't have his best stuff, he was able to keep the Wolfpack off the scoreboard through his 4 innings of work. Mitch Daas came into the game in relief and pitched 2 solid innings, striking out 4 of 9 batters faced.  The Mustang offense continues to produce runs in bunches as the run rule has come into play in the last three games. (Coach Courtright)

 

JV  -  Wed, April 16, 2008  -  Mounds View 18, Roseville 4

The JV came back home to Kohler on Wednesday to face Roseville but picked up right where they left off.
