Body
The Langdon-Munich Cardinals high school baseball team finally got their first game in since April 10 when they played at Grafton on April 20. The contest was supposed to be at American Legion Field in Langdon but got moved to Grafton due to the diamond not quite being ready to go. The Cards did not seem to mind the travel, as they beat the Spoilers 12-2 by the 10-run rule after six innings. Langdon-Munich will be getting busy with their schedule at Midway-Minto on April 23 then, depending on the weather, are scheduled to play Kidder County, South Border, and New Rockford-Sheyenne at a jamboree in NR. In the week ahead, the Cardinals will host Park River Area in a huge game on April 27 then will play against Pembina County North for two region games in Langdon on April 28.

The weather is starting to click well, a little We are finally getting some decent weather to get some spring activities rolling along. The warmest day of 2026, so far (which isn’t saying much), happened on April 23. Although the week ahead won’t come close to that, at least there’s weather that is doable to allow spring things to happen. Let’s hope field work and seeding won’t be far behind.
