Hermantown bounced back after Saturday's loss with a thrilling 12-11 win over Hopkins in the 10am game.  In the 4pm game Hermantown rallied with 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th but came up one run short as they lost to Lino Lakes 8-7.

Hermantown finishes 4th in the state out of a field of 16.  Congrats to the team on a fine showing at state.
