Sartell-St. Stephen is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Tuesday. They are taking a road trip to challenge the Alexandria Cardinals at 5:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Sabres fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Monday's season opener. They never let Cambridge-Isanti get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory on Monday. The Sabres haven't had any issues with the Bluejackets recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Jakson Scheffler tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Miles Simonson was a standout: he went 1-for-2 with two runs and one RBI. Carter Stutsman was another key player, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
Sartell-St. Stephen hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That's the most strikeouts they've posted since back in May of 2024.
Meanwhile, Alexandria entered their tilt with Detroit Lakes on Friday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They were the clear victors by a 14-4 margin over the Lakers. That's two games straight that the Cardinals have won by exactly ten runs.
Sartell-St. Stephen couldn't quite get it done against Alexandria when the teams last played back in May of 2024 as they fell 4-1. Can the Sabres avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
