Watching the baseball he smacked roll to the right-center field wall, BOLD junior Jordan Sagedahl figured he would reach third base.

Getting waved home instead gave him a thrill.

So Sagedahl kept running, stumbling for just a moment rounding third base. A headfirst slide into home dirtied his white pants and red jersey on a day he was otherwise spotless against New York Mills.

Sagedahl’s inside-the-park home run and complete-game shutout highlighted an 8-0 victory for BOLD in the Class 1A state championship game Thursday at Target Field.

The Warriors (20-5), who represent Bird Island-Olivia-Lake Lillian District School District, won their first title since 2013.

About the only thing not going Sagedahl’s way was losing a no-hitter when New York Mills (21-5) designated hitter Abe Carlson singled to lead off the top of the seventh and final inning.

First report

A one-hitter and an inside-the-park home run by Jordan Sagedahl highlighted an 8-0 victory for BOLD in the Class 1A state championship game Thursday at Target Field.

Sagedahl led the Warriors (20-5) to their first title since 2013. His fifth-inning home run started with a sharp line drive into the gap in right-center field. The ball rolled to the wall and Sagedahl never broke stride to give BOLD a 2-0 lead.

The Warriors broke the game open with six more runs in the sixth inning.

New York Mills (21-5) designated hitter Abe Carlson broke-up Sagedahl’s no-hit bid with a single to lead off the top of the seventh and final inning.

BOLD, based in Olivia, also incorporates students from Bird Island and Lake Lillian.
