Coming off their last game against Devils Lake, this Babe Ruth Black Sox team is looking a lot better than they did in their debut against Cando. Through the first couple innings it was a close game as the teams were tied at two at the end of the second. In the third inning was when the Sox were able to deny the Eagles from getting any runs with three perfect strikeouts thrown by DJ Mudgett. Then they took advantage of their well-executed defense to score two runs in the third to break the tie....
With the independent team starting off strong, the Babe Ruth team looked to do the same against visiting team Cando on Wednesday, June 10. The first inning was a sign of what was to come, as Cando made quick work of the unsuspecting Black Sox with four runs at the top of the inning. The Black Sox couldn’t answer back as they were taken off the plate quickly with three outs. The second inning was more of the same as Cando added three more runs to their tally and the Sox were again unable to res...

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department completed its 73rd annual spring breeding duck survey in May despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and results showed an index of nearly 4 million birds, up 18% from last year. Migratory game bird supervisor Mike Szymanski said despite most waterfowl surveys in North America being canceled this spring, Game and Fish was able to make adjustments to continue this long-term data set. “Crews were turned into single person crews to make sure there was only one person in a vehicle, and we changed some of the r...
I'm a firm believer that a quick trip to the water is better than no trip at all. One jaunt in the uplands, even in the middle of the afternoon well ahead of the witching hour, can still produce plenty of excitement. Even a short sit on stand in the fall to watch the sunrise and the first few deer filter in and out of the draw produces memories. A full life, and memorable outdoor activity, requires making the most of what you've got with the time allotted. It was a lesson hammered home again thi...
The U.S. Senate passed the Great American Outdoors Act legislation Senator Kevin Cramer co-sponsored to address the maintenance backlog across the National Parks Service including at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora. Cramer noted: “Passing the Great American Outdoors Act brings us one step closer to making significant, necessary improvements not only at Theodore Roosevelt National Park but also on our public lands and at Native American schools across North Dakota. Senators Cory Gardner and Steve Daines did an excellent job s...
While most of us have been more tuned in to big game hunting applications this spring or hitting the water for walleye, the recent stay-at-home order gave me a chance to organize some gear, too. Picking my way through a year of fishing and hunting equipment, my thoughts swirled around one activity: elk hunting. Even as I write this, I am kicking myself for not organizing my elk gear after my last move. It's easy to understand why, as I have my North Dakota once-in-a-lifetime elk tag in my...
