After playing nearly 70 games over the summer, the Mounds View Softball Association’s 14U team had to have been exhausted but also proud of what it accomplished. 

A Mounds View Softball Association team was recently honored for its conduct at a tournament earlier this summer. The Thundering Herd 10U squad was presented with its Youth First Award July 26 at the Shoreview Community Center. 

The Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville PI adapted softball team recently closed out its season with a high honor. The Rams took part in the state tournament on June 3-4 at Coon Rapids High School.

There used to be a segment on “Sesame Street” called “One of these things is not like the others.” The Concordia Academy fastpitch softball team was one of those unlike things compared to the other teams in the Class AA state tournament last week.

Mounds View took on Chisago during the Roseville Rumble softball tournament, which featured 25 teams and took place at Central Park June 4 and 5. Below, Mounds View’s Kelly Tekautz takes a swing at the ball.

For the third straight year, the section championship in high school fastpitch softball came down to North and Woodbury. For the second year in a row, the title went to the Royals. 

For a team that finished five games below .500 in the regular season, the Roseville Area High School fastpitch softball team did well in the playoffs. The Raiders, seeded seventh in Section 4AAAA, finished third.

Concordia Academy is probably the least-likely participant in this week’s state fastpitch softball tournament.

Three of the top four seeds in the Section 4AAAA fastpitch softball playoffs found their roads to the championship take an unexpected turn.
