Brainerd VFW Post 1647 Sponsored Sports
PictureKevin Jensen
​


VFW Baseball in Brainerd is coordinated by Kevin "Sports" Jensen.  There is even a flag in the Brainerd VFW made with baseball bats.  Kevin is a CW5 Chief Warrant Officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard.

Learn more about Kevin.

Everyone is invited to turn out and cheer the teams on.   

June 22, 2022:  The Brainerd VFW sponsored High School Baseball Team competed with a VFW team from the St. Cloud, MN.  The coaches are Trent Grams, Brian Voigt, Ben Dornseis and Keith Peterson.  Photos below. 

Brainerd VFW Post 1647 had the 2021 season come to a close on July 29th with a 5-4 loss to Cold Spring in the fourth round of the District 6 tournament. Mitchell Brau took the loss on the mound but pitched really well. He held a very good Cold Spring offense scoreless in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings, allowing Brainerd to get back into the game. Offensively Brainerd was led by Isaac Hanson’s three hits. Cayden Brown had two hits, and Sawyer Hennessey scored two of Brainerd’s four runs.

From the team:
“We would like to thank Brainerd Post 1647 for all of their support this summer. They continue to donate their time, efforts, and money to this program thus allowing our boys to get better.  We would also like to thank the Lower Site Crew for helping make Adamson Field a great place to play and practice on.”
