Heritage Christian Academy senior Seth Halvorsen looked right at home at Target Field.

The Minnesota Twins’ 30th-round draft pick became the first high school player to hit two home runs at the stadium. And he threw a five-hit shutout, leading the Eagles to their first state championship with an 8-0 victory over Sleepy Eye on Saturday in the Class 1A finals.

Halvorsen went 3-for-3 with four RBI and four runs scored.

“I think the Twins made a mistake,” Heritage Christian coach Jon Ledeboer said. “They should have offered him more money.”
