First game tonight at LeCenter! First pitch slated for 7:30. Come see what Legends are made of. BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! No for real.

Do you need anymore players on this old person team?

Actually roster's full sorry. Maybe next year!!

The first weekend of games wasn't very legendary for the LSH Legends as they were shut out by identical 2-0 scores. Pitching was great both Fri. night in LeCenter and Sat. night in Lonsdale. However the bats will need to come around if the first year squad is able to make some noise come tourney time.

This Wed. night the Legends host St. Peter in an exhibition game at Hilltop Park. First pitch is 6:30pm. St. Peter lost the state championship game last year to Shakopee so the Saints will prove to be a tough challenge. Former Saints Scott "Zeke" Zeiher and Jim "Sully" Sullivan look for some revenge against their former team. Once again there's no admission fee so come on up to the park and enjoy some baseball.

Legends come away with two wins this weekend! Friday night's game with St. Patrick at Hilltop proved to be a tight one as Scott Zeiher pitched the locals to a 2-1 win. Then today they traveled north to Jordan to take on the Alers and smacked the ball around the park to the tune of a 10-4 score. Jason Borchardt toed the rubber and dominated. Season record now stands at 2-2.

This Friday, June 8th the Legends host Northfield in LeSueur at 7:30pm. See you at the ballpark!

Beat the heat and head over to Bruce Frank Field in LeSueur tonight. The LSH Legends host the Northfield Millers in RVL action. Both teams sporting 2-1 records so it should be a tightly contested battle. First pitch is 7:30pm and once again...admission is FREE!!!!

The Legends came out on top of a squeaker last night against Northfield in LS by the score of 14-0 in 5 innings. Scott Zeiher toed the rubber and scattered but 3 hits over 4 innings in getting the mound victory. The Legends 16 hit attack was led by Jason "Fifi" Borchardt as he continued his torrid hitting pace with a 4-4 night including a bases loaded double that plated all three runners. The whitewashing improves the Legends record to 3-1 on the young season.
Next up is a possible make up home game on Sun., June 17th against Prior Lake in Henderson. Time yet to be determined and will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

You say your record is 3-1 but your schedule indicates losses to LeCenter and Lonsdale. Is this one of those tricks that you don't count some losses because its an exhibition, but if you'd have won the game then you'd count it because it was a win? I guess I've told people we're 3-2, considering we've lost twice. If I'm in error let me know. Maybe we're 10-0?

Before Friday's game I had brought up our record and was told by certain Legends that the LeCenter game doesn't count. I could've asked the same question whether if we'd won the game would it then have counted but just avoided the entire issue. So I guess we go with 3-1.

In my book, we haven't lost yet. Because the chance to play with such quality, fun, go getters like yourself is what I like to play for.

Just found out today that there is NO GAME this coming Sunday, June 17th at Hilltop Park. Prior Lake couldn't make it work. Next game for the Legends is Sat., June 23rd at St. Peter with first pitch being 5pm. Need to make quick work of this one so we can get back for the Owl Parade!!!

Hmm, that game could cut into the Owl Parade.

Noooo. These old timer games are only 7 innings and each batter starts with a 1-1 count. Usually over in 1.5 hours 2 max.

The biggest delay is typically guys getting on and off the field between innings.

I almost pulled a hamstring tying my spikes last week.

Guess I was thinking exhibition was kinda Iike preseason, no?

btw, I was told before the game that it did not count in the standings.

I will take either way.

Doesn't count in the standings, but it was still a game with an official and a score and a result. The Giants baseball team won the conference with an 11-3 record, BUT they finished the regular season 13-6 because they played some non-league games that didn't count in the standings.

The Legends pulled off a huge league win yesterday in St. Peter by a 2-0 score. Previously unbeaten at 5-0, the Saints were also the state class AA runner up last year.
Scott Zeiher got the complete game shutout as he and battery mate Jim Sullivan were facing their former team for the first time.
Rock solid defense, which included two double plays, proved to be the key in the victory. John Hank and Sullivan each had multi hit games at the plate.
Winners of four straight, the Legends (4-1) next go to Loretto on Fri., July 6th for an 8pm tilt. Then Sun., July 8th is a trip to St. Paul to play the Seafoams at 6pm.

the LEgends are 4-2. Lost twice by 0-2 scores.

One was an exhibition. Thought we went over this. Doy doy doy!

I'm thinking we should use the official web site for the final answer to this debate.

A makeup game with the Prior Lake Pacers has been scheduled for next Friday the 13th up at Hilltop. First pitch slated for 6:30pm.
Also, the game on Sun., July 22nd vs. Jordan is still up in the air as far as location and time. It will be a home game we know that for sure. Just not positive which side of the river it will be.

You forgot to add "the yet to be beaten LeSueur-Henderson Legends." If the scores don't represent whether you win or lose, why not say the team hasn't lost yet, and will never lose? Since when have points tallied by opposing foes in an officiated sporting event ever determined a winner and/or a loser? LSH Legends - 50 and 0!!!

I hope we don't play 50 games. That's why I quit town ball!

Who said your team has to play 50 games to say it won 50 games? You guys have lost two games but claim to have only lost one, so why not just be 50 and oh, if the actual outcome doesn't count towards your record? Or, better yet, don't keep score and you can all pop a Geratol and meet at the DQ for a Branflake Blizzard after the game.

Mmmm branflake blizzard. Okay fine our new record is 17 and 6. Doy doy doy.
Go run your plant and get off chatter. You have a lotta catching up to do. Joe Vacation.

A trip to Loretto for the Legends fell short last night as the home team tallied six runs in the 5th inning to pull out a 6-2 win. Jason Borchardt continues to hit the ball as he had two base hits. Scott Zeiher drove in John Hank with a base hit to right for the first run of the game. However, the blue couldn't come up with the big hit with guys on base. Another run in the top of the 7th on a Borchardt single closed out the scoring. Scott Zeiher took the mound loss and Scott Hank finished in relief.

Sunday night, July 8th the Legends (4-2) travel to St. Paul to take on the Seafoams at 6pm.

The perfect remedy for coming off a tough loss at Loretto? Venture to Concordia College in St. Paul on a Sunday night to take on the Seafoam Hawks. The LSH Legends blew out the Hawks 15-0 in 5 innings Sunday night as they moved their record to 5-2.

Jason Borchardt pitched superbly giving up but three hits in the shortened affair. Fifi also recorded two hits at the plate. Mark Shimota and Al Hentges each collected three hits to lead the Legends attack.

Hilltop Park in Henderson will be the site this Friday, July 13th as the home team squares off with the Prior Lake Pacers at 6:30pm. The heat wave has passed so come on out to the ballpark and enjoy some FREE baseball. Next Sunday, July 15th the Legends travel to Eden Prairie. First pitch is slated for 4pm.

Let's check MLB.COM for the Twins and see what their exhibition scores were, oh that's right they don't count them... Francisco Liriano probably didn't win then either

It was high drama at Hilltop Park Friday night. Prior Lake found all the holes and pulled out to a 7-1 lead over the Legends only to see LSH whittle away in the late innings.

With two outs in the bottom of the 7th and LSH down 7-5, many were thinking BBQ Days. However, consecutive hits by Kent Thostensen, Mike Barron, and Troy Koester tied the score. Tony Nagel then hit a slow roller to short beating the throw at first which drove in Koester for the game winner. Legends win 8-7.

Mark Shimota hurled the first five innings then Scott Zeiher came on to pitch the last two. The win puts LSH at 6-2 on the season.

Today, the Legends travel to Eden Praire to take on Lion's Tap. Game time is 4pm.

A pitcher's duel broke out just off Hwy 212 in Eden Prairie today as the LSH Legends edged the Lion's Tap 2-0.

Jason "Fifi" Borchardt got the complete game shutout over EP, whose record now stands at 6-4. Fifi also collected a couple base knocks. Troy Koester and Mike Barron each collected key hits as well in the late innings giving LSH a much needed insurance run.

The 7-2 Legends are now off 'til next Sunday, July 22nd when they host the always tough Jordan Millers at Hilltop Park. Game is set for 2pm.

Who umps two American Legion baseball games then goes 3 for 3 with a 3-run homerun all on the same day? That would be Troy "Fivehead" Koester that's who. Yes it was definitely his day yesterday as the Legends won a close pitcher's duel with the Jordan Millers 3-1 at Hilltop Park. Scott Zeiher also collected two hits on the day, including a towering single off the left field fence.

Another fine defensive effort by LSH, including a stellar complete game by John Hank on the mound now gives the old guys an 8-2 record on the season. The loss drops the Millers to 8-4.

Next up for the Legends are road games this Friday night, July 27th at 7:30pm in Union Hill. Followed by a Sunday 4pm matinee against Braemar in Edina.

Behind Scott Zeiher's complete game on the rubber and two hits each from Mike Barron and Al Hentges, the Legends improved to 9-2 on the season. They will travel to Edina to take on the Braemar Bees Sunday, July 29th at 4pm.

Braemar's starting pitcher Gary Fritch kept the Legends off balance all game as the Bees handed LSH their 3rd loss of the season yesterday in Edina by a 6-3 tally.

The Legends jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first. Fritch would only allow a single run the rest of the way in his complete game victory. Jason Borchardt was the tough luck loser for LSH in going the distance on the mound. Kent Thostensen had two base hits and Tony Nagel added a double and two walks for LSH.

It's a busy final week ahead for the Legends as they host Bloomington Wednesday night and Veseli Friday night. Both games are at 7:30pm. On Saturday Welcome comes to town for a 1pm faceoff. All three games are at Bruce Frank Field in LeSueur.

Hey, if you were ahead why don't you just call it a win since the results don't have much of an impact on your record. What does that make you guys now? 13-2? You can beat Bloomington again when they return to town.

This coming from a guy who'd rather play folk music in a park at Giant Days than help his team win tonight.

Since you guys make up records, maybe we can make up stats, too? I think tonight I'll be 3-of-4 with a double, maybe 2 RBI, and a stolen base. Yep, put me down for that.

Yes, Dirt Roads is reuniting for their first show in just over two months, and second show in quite some time, and maybe it’s only been six or eight shows since its initial performance in 2008.

Hear Dirt Roads electric folk variations of their own songs, Kirby on the Lead Guitar, Off to War, Three Days Change, 3 Dimensional Love, Purple Dragon, Elephant Man, Haircut for Some Headroom, and their attempts at deep covers like Where He Walked, Time Fades Away, Christ for President, Airplane to Heaven, (the latter two added as potentials to the set list), and even a couple covers that you may have heard.

Find comfort knowing that if you miss it, you won’t have missed much. Also keep an ear to the wind for the release of Dirt Roads debut album, “The Road Less Graveled”, available sometime after its recorded.

The Legends didn't allow a run in two games this weekend in shutting out Veseli 5-0 Friday night and drubbing Welcome 9-0 Saturday afternoon. Errorless ball also aided the LSH (11-3) cause.

Sounds like the Bloomington game will be resumed where it left off after all. LSH was up 4-0 in the top of the 4th when the rains came Wed. night. The remainder of the game will be played this week. Date and time to be announced.

The Bloomington Eagles forfeited the rest of the suspended game from last Wednesday. It was 4-0 Legends after four innings.

This puts LSH at 12-3 on the season and makes them RVL Wilson Division Champions!!! St. Peter, also 11-3, has one game left with Union Hill but no matter the outcome LSH owns the tiebreaker since they defeated the Saints 2-0 earlier in the season.

Way to go Legends in your inaugural season!!! State tournament is Aug. 17-19 and Aug. 24-26.

Nice job old man baseball!

Where is the state tourney?

I believe it'll be held in Shakopee, Jordan, Union Hill, and Lonsdale this year. State tourney schedule should be out this week sometime. I'll update where the Legends will be playing.

The Legends have been seeded #3 for the A-AA Senior Men's State Amateur Baseball Tournament. Games will be held in Jordan, Union Hill, Veseli, and Lonsdale.

First game will be this Saturday vs. the #13 seed Menahga-Sebeka Relics of the Northwest Minnesota League. The Relics finished 2nd in their division with an 11-4 record. Site and time yet to be determined on the first game as the brackets will be finalized Tuesday evening.

Check back for more game details as they become available.

The Legends will play this Sat., Aug. 18th at 5pm in Jordan vs. the Menahga-Sebeka Relics in the 2012 Senior Men's Amateur Baseball Tournament. Click the link to view the entire tourney bracket.

If those brackets were directions I'd be lost. wtf? Some old man must've drawn that up. This is further evidence that eventually you reach a point that you gotta stop chasing balls.

Do the results of your state tournament games count against your overall record?

No. Only state tournament record. Kinda like when the Octopus Bar went 0-0 during the 2010 season but then went 4-0 in the state tournament to claim the Class C Championship. Quite the cinderella story I hear.

It was a tough first weekend for the Legends as they were shutout Saturday 3-0 by Menahga-Sebeka in Jordan and lost a marathon to the Jordan Millers in Union Hill today 6-1 in 11 innings.

Solid pitching and defense wasn't enough as LSH could only plate one runner in 18 innings of ball. That's not gonna cut it at the state tourney.

Legends will next play this Friday, Aug. 24th in Lonsdale against the loser of Eden Prairie Lion's Tap and Perham. Time to be determined.

Correction the Legends will play at 7pm this Fri., Aug. 24th at Veseli. Not Lonsdale as previously stated. Opponent will be Eden Prairie Lion's Tap.

Seven. That is the number of hits the Legends amassed in 18 innings of offense over two days. One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. And it got worse as Sunday's game went on. LSH might've never scored had Jordan not scored in the 11th, they might still be playing. It brought new meaning to the words frustrating, pathetic, disappointing, disgusting and embarrassing. Thank fully these games don't count for the Legends.

The Legends are back in action tonight, when they try to break out of a historic team-wide slump that started last weekend, when the team took the league lead in high pop-ups and weak grounders, amassing seven total hits in 18-innings to the bat. The Legends were one of only four teams to finish the first weekend of the state tournament with zero wins against 2 losses (eight total if you include the Class "C" bracket). But there's no quit in this bunch, as they will bravely take to the diamond again tonight to battle the Eden Prairie Lion's Tap in the semi-finals of the Class A wrestlebacks. The Legends pounded their way to a 2-0 win over the Lion's Tap earlier this season, and fans should expect another offensive display by both teams this evening. First pitch at the Veseli diamond in Veseli is scheduled for 7 p.m. Skeddy and Camel currently pencilled in as the keystone combination in the middle of the Legend's infield as they make another attempt at becoming the shortest double-play combination in the history of the sport.

"Who left the hat out near second base?" is likely to be heard from the stands.

It's gonna be a scorcher out there tonight. I better bring my water jug that says "water" on it.

In honor of the beloved Vikings and their epic 3rd pre-season battle with the Super Chargers tonight, I will once again be hanging my Vikings beach towel in the dugout. This has been a tradition since the beginning of last year's old man ball season.
Gross. That last comment didn't sound right.

Camel we may have to jam some ring fingers tonight if that's what it's gonna take to pull out a "W".
