Baseball tournament time is upon us In the next few weeks, there will be several area summer baseball tournaments going on across the region. July 13 is the North Valley 12U Tourney at all three little league diamonds starting early that morning. The bracket has not been released at the time of this writing, but as many as 10 teams could be involved, including one from Langdon and one from Pembina/Walhalla. On July 14, the 8U Tournament will be in Grafton, which has as many as three teams from Langdon alone. Also, the District 3 Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament will be held in Minto this year and has seven teams in the league. That tourney starts with a play-in game on July 17 then begins officially at Pat Mach Field on July 18. The State B Babe Ruth Tournament is in Carrington this year July 26-30. The District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament will run July 22-24 at North Star Co-Op Field in Park River. Good luck to all of our area teams!

The Langdon Red Sox got the July portion of their season underway with a home game on July 3 versus the Sheyenne- New Rockford Black Sox then at Grafton on July 8. Post 98 lost to the Black Sox 4-3 then also were beaten in a hard-fought game, 3-0, by Grafton Post 41. The Red Sox record is now 7-6 overall and 3-2 in District 5 games. Langdon hosted Park River on July 10 then will play at Hatton-Northwood on July 12 and at Sheyenne-New Rockford July 15. A league doubleheader that was to be versus Larimore on July 1 has been moved to July 16 in Langdon. The Red Sox have a home game over Musicfest weekend on July 19 versus MayPort at 5:00pm. Here is a recap of their two games: Sheyenne-New Rockford 4, Langdon 3 The Red Sox slowly got out to a 3-0 lead over the Black Sox. They picked up a run in the bottom of the first after Theo Romfo hit a one out double, which was later followed by a run scoring single by Landon Schneider. They added to the one run advantage when Nick Kingzett reached base on a fielder's choice, stole second and third, then came home on a Mason Romfo hit. Langdon's third run came on a double by Tyson Gemmill and Kingzett.
