Season comes to an end for Glencoe

Glencoe’s hopes of finishing off a promising 2016 season with a state tournament appearance were dashed on Friday, Aug. 12 with a 4-2 loss to Crow River Valley League western division rival Brownton in a second-round Region 7C elimination game.

The Brewers began regional play by losing to eventual 7C champion Waconia on Saturday, Aug. 6 before surviving the opening round of elimination play by besting Carver 3-2 the next day to set up a showdown with the Bruins with the winner clinching a state berth and the loser closing up shop for the summer.

Glencoe rallied from an early 1-0 deficit with two runs in the third as Brandon Ebert plated Colt Trebesch with an RBI double before he was eventually brought home on a sacrifice fly by Brody Bratsch.

Unfortunately for the Brewers, those runs wound up representing the entirety of the team’s offense in the game.
