Fergus Falls American Legion Post 30 opened their season by traveling to Wahpeton on Friday night to face Post 20.  Wahpeton wound up winning the game, 10-1.

Post 20 struck for one run in the first inning via a lead-off double and a Post 30 error.  Post 30 answered back with their lone run in the top of the third inning.  Logan Larson drew a two-out walk and Ben Swanson followed with another base on balls, putting runners on first and second.  An errant pick-off attempt at first base scored Larson from second.  Wahpeton then scored four times in the third and added five more in the fourth to finish the scoring.

Larson (1-2, R, SB) and Brock Scheurman (1-2) led the Post 30 hitters.  Larson, Will Gronwold and Brandon Brown combined on the mound for Post 30.

Fergus Falls looks to rebound Saturday at 5:30pm when they face Detroit Lakes in Wahpeton.

“We are very thankful for being sponsored by the Fergus Falls American Legion Post 30,” commented Head Coach Trevor Larson.  "Post 30 provides transportation via the bus they purchased last year, which is great for our team.”
