It has been a long Spring waiting for baseball to return and it was great to finally have some decent weather. Big win on the road in Red Wing. 1-0 on the season, great start. #tornadoseason #11AGold

We ended the MBL season on a high note, scoring 26 runs in a DH at Farmington. We had great pitching and solid defense all night. It was great to come away with two wins, but even better was the hustle and extra effort that got us there. It was an honor to coach these boys.

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

We had a good battle with Farmington and came up a little short. Congrats to Finn on a great night of hustle and a solid performance on the mound. He was nominated for both the Hustle Hardhat and the Lunchpail Award. #tornadoseason #10AGold

2 types of coaches:

Those who:
Coddle
Tell you what you want to hear
Don’t hold you accountable
Don't believe in you
Let you go through the motions

Those who:
Tell you the truth
Encourage
Challenge
Hold you accountable
Inspire
Demand excellence

ONLY 1 gets you ready for LIFE!

@mjvance Thanks Mike.

We played our best game of the year last night. A huge 8-6 win against the 10A Teal. Hustle plays and extra effort all over the field. Congrats to Henry for earning the Hustle Hardhat and Kaden for the Lunchpail Award! #tornadoseason #10AGold

Thanks @GoJacksFB for another outstanding Team Camp! Blessed to Coach these fine young men! What a special recognition for our program to receive this award! #together

10A Gold had a good battle with Eastview. Congrats to the Lunch Pail award winner Callan and the Hustle Hardhat winner Reed. This group continues to get better and work on the mental side of the game. #tornadoseason #10AGold #RYBA

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

We had a great night in Rosemount. Two one-run games and we came home with a W in Game 2. It was a great team effort, but Finn was awarded the Hustle Hardhat and Jonas was selected as the Lunchpail award winner. #tornadoseason #10AGold #RYBA

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

The Boys fought hard in this heat. We faced heat-related delays with umpires and a couple really good squads. We may not be coming back with a W, but the final score doesn’t tell the whole story- We know we can hang with anyone and that is what matters. #proudcoach #tornadoseason

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

It was a warm one up in Inver Grove. We continue to see solid pitching, but our guys are not afraid to battle and put the ball in play. Congrats to Kellen on his Hardhat nomination from Coach Dan, and Kaden who continues to bring his lunchpail and grind. #tornadoseason #10AGold

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

Good battle with a tough Rochester Teal squad tonight. Lots of great at-bats against good pitching. Congrats to Lucas on the Hustle Hardhat and Maxx on the Lunchpail Award.

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

Game in Eastview is rained out today. Reschedule date is June 14.

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

It’s never fun when you get postponed in the middle of a downpour, but we had maybe our best game of the year. I’m very proud of how this team has bounced back and it was great to see us tie the score late after being down early. Congrats to Vinny on his Hustle Hardhat award.

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

It was a great day to play two. Congrats to the Hustle Hardhat winners- Connor & Callan and our 4 lunch pail winners- Henry, Vinny, Kellen & Jonas (pic of these two coming Sunday). It is great to see the growth and watch these guys compete. #tornadoseason #10AGold

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

Rosemount vs. Gold at RBC #5 is cancelled tonight. Will be rescheduled as part of a DH in Rosemount, likely on June 9th.

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

Jack pitched two strong innings with several strikeouts and scored two runs for the Gold squad with his hustle and solid hitting. He was the unanimous pick for the Hustle Hardhat and the Lunchpail award last night! First winner of both awards in one night. #tornadoseason #10AGold

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

Congrats to the Hustle Hardhat winner- Maxx. This guy was all over the base paths tonight and a wall behind the plate. #tornadoseason #RYBA #10AGold

[RochTornadoesBL @TornadoesBl]

Big HS matchup out in Byron tonight. Undefeated Lourdes up 5-1 early on the Bears.
