A scrub squad of Twins were three hit by the Concordia College Golden Bears yesterda, which is almost as embarrassing as being three hit by the Royals.
Twins have hands full with Concordia, again:
The Twins owed their victory to two unearned runs, both coming on missed fly balls by Concordia's fielders.The Twins finished with three hits. That's no misprint. Concordia had two.
"Our goal was not to get anybody killed," Gardenhire said. "Those were our first swings [in a spring contest]."
Morneau's first at-bat came with two aboard in the first inning, and Jacob Schmidt, a freshman from Oakdale, looked as if he was in trouble.
But in a sight all-too familiar for Twins fans, Schmidt got Morneau to lunge at a changeup and ground into an inning-ending double play.
The Concordia bench, and about 250 fans, erupted.
"Everything changed after that," Schmidt said "We knew we could do it."
