The History
The Keg was basically created in 2007 because of all the "trash" that was being talked about between the two teams. The arguements would commonly occur at local ball fields, weddings, fesitvals, ham dinners, and local watering holes about who had the best ball club. The Keg was created, arguements have diminished, and the rivalry has grown as the teams play each other at least twice during the summer for the rights to the traveling trophy. There have been many memorable moments throughout the "battle" including: the soap opera/reality show that is Nathan Terres and Aaron Vogt, the rolling of the keg down the hill at the Spring Hill church parking lot, and the carrying of the keg on horseback by Dusty and Middy throughout the streets of beautiful downtown Spring Hill. The Keg has made appearances throughout Central Minnesota and can be commonly found at weddings, after bars, fundraisers, parades, and bon fires. After the game, the Keg is returned to its respective town and displayed under lock and key in the establishment of choice by the winning team!
ELROSA holds the Keg!!!!
Spring Hill leads the all-time series at 7-4. Spring Hill leads the all-time score 56-51.
"Tempers flared later in the game, as the two teams had their usual high intensity grudge match, making it arguably the most exciting game of the season. Playing for a traveling keg tends to bring out the best in players, that’s for sure." (Spring Hill website)
