Cool mornings, grain fields turning golden and new Carson Wentz stories on Facebook that I never tire of reading— all of these things made me realize that summer is winding down. A new school season is just around the corner, which means that it’s almost football season again. A news story broke last Friday at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp. The Associated Press article said, “Carson Wentz was dazzling spectators with his big arm on the first day of Eagles training camp on Thurs...
Stout pitching performances carried the Post 30 Black Sox of New Rockford during the meat of the District 4 Legion tournament in Carrington held July 24-27. Following a 14-0 win over Wishek/Linton in the first round, the 'Sox needed the bare minimum of offense to get past Cando, 1-0, but ran into traditional foe Carrington's buzzsaw in a 4-0 shutout loss. Post 30 rebounded with a 6-3 win to eliminate Kidder County Post 231, and advance to the championship series with Carrington (see related...

Editor's note: In the print edition of this story, the headline erroneously stated "Post 30 beats 'Sox." It should read "Post 25 beats 'Sox," as Carrington advanced to the state tournament. The online edition has been corrected. We apologize for the error. The 2019 regular seasons in both the Class B high school and American Legion campaigns borne out the conclusion that Carrington and SNR played at a level above their local competition. So it came to pass that the two longtime baseball rivals,...
Editor's note: This five-part series, sponsored by the North Dakota Newspaper Association and the Grand Forks Herald, aims to answer questions at the difficult intersection between budget crunches, criminal justice and the well-being of North Dakota's communities. This first article offers a brief overview of the overcrowding problems in North Dakota's prisons and its parole system. As rising prison populations stress the state's corrections system, how will state leaders address what some say...
SNR may have bowed out of the State B Babe Ruth Tournament in Watford City after three days, but the future of baseball in Eddy County looks bright indeed, judging by how they fared among the state's small-town baseball programs. The young 'Sox took home fourth place at this year's event after taking a 16-4 loss in loser-out play to the Casselton Black Stockings Sunday evening, July 28, and finished their season with a 19-4 record. "Casselton came out and hit the ball around the whole field," Co...
The best baseball facility the Bakken oil boom could buy awaited the SNR Black Sox Babe Ruth team for their first Class B State Tournament appearance in 17 years. An artificial turf field adjacent to the sparkling $100-plus million dollar Rough Rider Center in the eastern foothills on the edge of Watford City served as the showpiece for the host club as they took on the Black Sox in the final game of the day Friday night, July 26. In a back-and-forth affair that wasn't as clean as SNR Coach...
The oft-used sports phrase "a game of inches" certainly came into play in the SNR Black Sox Babe Ruthers' final at-bat on the second day of the Class B Tournament at the Rough Rider Center in Watford City. Down 3-2 in the top of the seventh to the LaMoure A's with two outs and Connor Knatterud at first base, Johnny Grann hit a sinking line drive to deep left center. A few inches in front or to the left, and it would have resulted in a tie game, and maybe even a lead if the ball got past to the...
Either way, someone's "Sox" were about to get knocked off. Five early runs may have lulled the SNR Babe Ruth Black Sox into a false sense of complacency against the Surrey Blue Sox, but they made the plays late when it was most paramount. In their first game in the loser's bracket after a tough one-run loss to LaMoure the day before, the 'Sox took the field for the Sunday morning opener opposite the runners-up from District 1. Early misplays led to a opening run for Surrey, but the SNR batters...
