The Pirates play in the annual Plum City Tournament starting Saturday at 10 AM versus Ellsworth.  This tournament is like no other as pretty much anything goes outside of the baselines and the atmosphere and discretionary choices are talked about for decades.  

Unfortunately the Pirates head into the tournament by losing their first two games.  New Richmond handed the squad their first conference loss on the season, 5-1 on Sunday.  Hayden Zimmerman shutdown the offense by only giving up one unearned run and tossing all nine innings.  

The Pirates look to get in a groove this weekend with some needed innings for some of the veteran players.  Should be a fun weekend.

Our game versus Ellsworth today has been canceled.

Tonight the Pirates begin their 2013 journey against Sport-N-Spine, a Minnesota Class A team from St. Paul.  On the hill will be newcomer Mark Erickson from Superior, WI by way of St. Scholastica College.  The game will be played at legendary Dunning Field in St. Paul just off of HWY 94 and Lexington Ave starting at 7:30.

There are a hanful of new players on the roster this year that is topping out at 21 players, the largest ever in Pirate history.  Jake Hintz, Erickson, Eric Monson and eventually Rob Mouton will round out the roster to give the Pirates their deepest team ever assembled.

Saturday is the first conference game against rival Ellsworth.  Ellsworth was a hit away from joining Prescott in the WBA state championship game last year and will give the Pirates an early test.  Game is set for Noon in Prescott.  Sunday should be no easier as New Richmond comes to town for a 1 PM tilt.  The Pirates have struggled with the Millers as of late and with New Richmond’s pitching, it should be another battle.

Unfortunately the Pirates lost a few members of the squad.  Chuck Block has decided to retire and Dillow Powell now lives in Missouri.  Good luck to both and we will miss you in the dugout.
