As the college signing season has come and gone, Hopkins baseball has yet another Division 1 baseball talent. Joey Hurth, senior, has committed to play baseball at Indiana State University.
The Royals have been rising to the occasion all year. Hopkins is currently ranked ninth in the state which is the same position they were at in the preseason rankings from GAMEBREAKER.
In light of recent articles, the Minnesota Twins have been a hot commodity within my recent articles, and I’m still going to stay on the topic for now.
The Minnesota Twins have started of the year in one of the hottest fashions in franchise history. Winning 8 games out of their first 12, and then slightly cooling off by only winning one game in their last three games.
It was just a year ago when Hopkins High School unveiled the brand new turf baseball field and ever since that moment, it has served multiple teams, not just the Royals.
With the signing period starting in the beginning of November, pitcher, Wyatt Nelson, senior, has committed to NDSU to continue his baseball career.
Nelson was being recruited to seven different Division 1 colleges but only received scholarship offers from North Dakota State University (NDSU), South Dakota State University (SDSU), and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Today the Royals start their postseason run to the state tournament against Southwest at 4:30 at the new turf field.
The Royals finished up the season with a 10-10 record, but lost six of their last seven games. The Royals have yet to face Southwest this year, however, Southwest will be without their ace pitcher as he pitched a complete game last night against St. Louis Park in their 4-2 win.
Tomorrow, May 16, the Royals baseball team will play their fifth Lake Conference game of the season and their second, and final game, against the Edina Hornets.
The Royals faced the Hornets earlier...
The Royals boys baseball team had a tough end of the season last year when they lost to the Wayzata Trojans in the section final and failed to make the state tournament for the fifth consecutive season.
While riding a three-game win streak, the Royals will travel to Minnetonka to face the Skippers for the first time this season.
A big win for the Royals came against the Wayzata Trojans last Friday...
