On Thursday, July 7, New Rockford Post #30 hosted a double header against the Jamestown Hawks, and earned a much needed sweep after suffering close defeats in the prior days. For a time, however, Post #30 seemed destined for another loss as the first of Thursday's games got underway. The Hawks opened the game with four earned runs against Black Sox starting pitcher Luke Yri, to which New Rockford found no response in the bottom of the inning. With a comfortable 4-0 lead entering inning No. 2,...
On Monday, July 11, New Rockford Post #30 ended their regular season with victory, defeating the Ashley/Linton/Wishek Rattlers 5-0 at home in their last regular-season match of the summer. Post #30 did most of their damage early, scoring four runs in the first two innings, before adding an insurance run in the fifth. From the batter's box, Connor Knatterud and Keaton Cudworth were particularly effective; together they accounted for four of New Rockford's five runs. Luke Yri also enjoyed a good...
The New Rockford Black Sox will enter the regional Babe Ruth tournament on a high, having defeated Devils Lake 4-3 on Monday, July 11. It wasn't a district matchup and it only lasted five-innings, but it was reminiscent of many of this season's games, as it showed once again that when it matters most, New Rockford has what it takes to close out a win. As they so often do, the Sox started well, scoring two runs in the first inning and another in the second. Connor Knatterud has been one of the...

The neat thing about labs is they never want to quit. Whether it's in the field or on a summertime swim, it most often comes down to their owners to know when to say "when." On about the twenty-seventh stick thrown from the end of the dock yesterday morning, the mounting blue clouds on the far side of the lake signaled the end of the sunrise swimming session for both Ole and me. One last time in the hazy light of the rising sun behind us, he jumped in after the stick which had been chewed on...
This week, the walleyes are still biting across Lake Sakakawea. Some areas like the mid-section or the Van Hook Arm can be better, but that doesn't mean the eastern edge can't be dynamite! Key depths have been 12-to-18 feet. Now, some days with the right winds and water clarity they move up shallower, some days they stay deeper. We are still keying in on the water temperatures, and the lake is fluctuating around 68 to 72 degrees. If you are seeing it in this range, you are good to go! Crawlers...
