Red Sox just missed fourth straight State B tournament; ends summer youth sports season The Langdon Post 98 Red Sox American Legion baseball team had quite the run in the District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament in Park River recently. They lost a heartbreaker in the first round then came back to knock three teams out of the tourney. They were one tough inning away from possibly advancing to the State B Tournament for the fourth year in a row.
