Monday, August 3
The La Crosse Athletics are the 2009 Mississippi Valley League Tournament Champions with a 5-1 win over the Chaseburg-Coon Valley Blues on Monday night in La Crescent. La Crosse starting pitcher Levin Adank had the Blues batters off-balance for most of the night, striking out 11 in the 6+ innings he pitched. Not to be out-done, CCV pitcher Evan Buhr matched Adank, not giving up a run for 6 innings as the game remained a scoreless tie until CCV took the lead with a single run in the top of the 7th. The Athletics responded, scoring 2 in the bottom of the seventh and putting the game away with 3 in the bottom of the 8th off CCV reliever Adam Wershofen. The Blues only managed 4 hits, 2 each from Matt Hoff and Adam Wershofen. The Blues return to action at "The Park" on Wednesday evening, hosting the La Crosse 35er's in the annual Fan Appreciation Night.

Wednesday, August 5
It was a beautiful evening at "The Park" as the CCV Blues hosted the La Crosse 35er's in a non-league game on Fan Appreciation Night. An enthusiastic crowd enjoyed a night a good baseball, special food and drink prices and many give-a-ways as the Blues defeated the 35er's 11-4. It's always nice to have the 35er's come back to Coon Valley, as some of them played for Chaseburg-Coon Valley during their early playing days and reminiscing is part of the evening. Mike Tolvstad picked up the win for CCV going 7 strong innings, giving up only 1 run while striking out 9 and walking only 1. Big bats for the Blues were Adam Wershofen 3-5, Jay Fanta 3-5 (2 2b), Adam Husing 3-5 (hr), Ryan Fahey 2-4 (2 2b). This ended the regular season for the Blues and they begin WBA District play on Saturday at Abbotsford against Ashland.
