Up first was Carrington Post 25, and their pitcher Kael Kovar carried a shutout into the seventh inning, while their offense rode home runs from Grady Shipman and Josh Bickett to take a crucial District 4 win over New Rockford Post 30 at Carrington's City Park Tuesday, July 9. The Redbirds got single tallies in the first, third and fifth...
On Wednesday, July 3, the Post 30 Black Sox ended a two-game losing skid in the most emphatic way possible. Playing against the Langdon Red Sox in Langdon, Post 30 were looking to get back in the win column and develop some momentum as the postseason approaches. But as Wednesday's game got underway, the Black Sox certainly didn't do themselves many favors. With Keaton Cudworth on the mound, the Red Sox were able to score a run in each of the first two innings courtesy of an RBI single and a...
The Post 30 Black Sox suffered another setback on Thursday, June 27, this time against the Linton-Ashley-Wishek (LAW) Rattlers at home. Much of the struggle for Post 30 of late has been their defense. In their previous loss against LaMoure Post 19 on June 24, the Sox committed eight errors and allowed two unearned runs, spoiling what was a good pitching outing for Keaton Cudworth. Their very next game against LAW was a similar story: six defensive errors and five unearned runs allowed. Another...

Starting on the mound for LaMoure was Owen Lesko, who went on to pitch all seven innings while allowing just three hits, one walk and striking out seven Black...
Keaton Cudworth has pitched another gem, this time throwing a complete game shutout against the Devils Lake B Storm on Monday, June 17. Not only did Cudworth prevent any runner from crossing the plate, he also allowed just a single hit and struck out 10 Devils Lake batters in seven innings.

As Cudworth took care of...
The elements were the X-factor when the best golfers and teams in Class B converged at CrossRoads Golf Club in Carrington for two days of abbreviated action Wednesday and Thursday, June 5-6.
