The Burnsville baseball team won its final regular season game on May 19, sneaking past Bloomington Jefferson in a Lake Conference home game 2-1.
Junior Grant Larson picked up the win for the Blaze, hurling a complete game. He allowed five hits and no earned runs, while striking out four.
The Blaze (10-9 overall, 9-9 in the conference) scored both of its runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to erase a 1-0 deficit. Senior John Means provided the big hit, a two-run single that scored Cody Aasen and Zach Harazin.
