By Jake Kulland, Sports Editor Theo Romfo gets two outs away from a perfect game versus the Spoilers The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals controlled their own destiny for a possible Region 4 regular season title when they played at Park River Area on May 9 and hosted Grafton on May 13. The Cards bats mostly fell silent in both matchups; they were shut out in each game - 3-0 by the Aggies and 2-0 by the Spoilers. Mixed around those games were non-conference sweeps at Bottineau and Hatton- Northwood. The Cards beat the Braves 3-1 and 11-1 and silenced the Thunder 5-1 and 16-0. After a busy six-day stretch, the Cardinals are now 16-6 on the season but ended up 3-3 in Region 4 games, which puts them into the Region 4 Tournament as the third seed. The tourney will be held in Minto May 20-22, and every game can be heard on KNDK 1080 and online through myborderland.com or by using the new MyBorderland app. You can also find a bracket in this week's paper.

Technology has come a long way in the past 200 years. The telegraph was invented in 1837 and made rapid long range communication possible. Messages could be sent around the world through a series of connected wires. The telegraph had medical applications in the Civil War. It was used to order medical supplies and report information about injuries and casualties to medical teams. This was cutting edge technology at the time, but it now is considered an obsolete method of communication.
