Millers Grit & Guts: A Week of Triumphs and Testaments

Welcome back to the Hopkins Millers Weekly Podcast! We've had an action-packed week, starting with a 1-0 victory over WBL Jr. Legion 25’ in Game 34, a game that was called early due to severe thunderstorms in the area. Bodie Mongeau was stellar on the mound, and Colin Frodermann's first-inning groundout secured the lone run. Game 35 saw us triumph 5-4 over Junior Bloomington Post 550 17U, highlighted by Liam Cowley's complete game effort with seven innings pitched, and Morgan Paul's crucial single that tied the game. We then exploded for a 10-4 victory against the Rockford Jr Legion Rockets in Game 36, fueled by a six-run second inning and Will Johnston's phenomenal four-hit day, though he was unfortunately ejected in his last at-bat for arguing a called third strike. Our doubleheader against Excelsior Jr Legion Blue 259 was a tale of two games: a tough 10-0 loss in Game 37, followed by a resilient 2-1 victory in Game 38, where Alex Blee delivered a masterful six-inning scoreless outing. Notably, this 2-1 loss was Excelsior's only defeat to another Legion team all season. We capped off the week with a decisive 9-3 win over Eden Prairie Eagles Junior Legion 17U in Game 39, powered by an early four-run first inning and a dominant six-inning, zero-run pitching performance from Frank Huibregtse. What a fantastic end to the regular season for the Millers!

Mo Baylor Paul

Short week for the Millers with two contrasting games. A dominant win with a dominant pitching performance by Baylor Paul. The first ever game in which Baylor and Morgan played together! A disappointing loss to rival Wayzata Blue on a steamy July evening. Liam Cowley and Morgan Paul continue their hot hitting!

Sioux Falls, So Good, So Good...but that Harrisburg game

After a whirlwind weekend in Sioux Falls, the Hopkins Millers finish the week with three wins, two losses, one little league home run, and zero shame from the parents who belted out “Sweet Caroline” from the top of the Bird Cage dugout. We break down the big hits, brutal innings, and our Fels-Naptha Hustle Player of the Weekend, Will Johnston, who wore more dirt than fabric.
