'Sox capture #2 league seed

American Legion Baseball coverage

The Raymond B. Thorn Post 30 Black Sox of New Rockford took care of some late-season business with District 4 American Legion league victories July 15 and 17.

Last Monday, it took well into the late hours, but Post 30 took a 12-6 win in Steele over Kidder County Post 231 in nine innings, and followed that up two days later with a doubleheader sweep on the road over Victor B. Wallin Post 12 of Washburn by scores of 7-2 and 6-5.

Boxscores from the three games were unavailable at press time.

The Black Sox earned the #2 seed in the eight-team District 4 Tournament beginning in Carrington on Wednesday, and finished their regular season with an 11-3 conference record and 16-4 mark in all contests.

Game times and matchups for the District 4 tourney were still to be determined due to seeding up for grabs
