Eastview Baseball Set for State Championship Game

The boys baseball team will face Bemidji High School for the Class AAA state championship at 6 p.m. Monday at Target Field.

The 22-4 Lightning bested Red Wing 3-1 in their quarterfinal game and Grand Rapids 5-3 in the semifinals.

Last year, Eastview didn't make the state tournament, which Burnsville won in Class AAA.

A Star Tribune article is predicting a 6-2 Bemidji win in the championship game, but should Eastview win, it would be the second Lightning state championship this spring, after the boys lacrosse team earlier this month .

Championship game tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students. More information about the state tournament is available here from the Minnesota State High School League.
