Fergus Falls American Legion Post 30 opened up District 9 play on Thursday by hosting Bemidji Post 23 in a double header, which Bemidji swept by scores of 15-0 and 14-4.

“Tough day at the ball field today,” commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Trevor Larson.  “We didn’t play good enough defensively and we fell behind in the count against a very good hitting team.  Our at bats started to get better as the day went on.  I am pleased that we had better energy in game two and didn’t quit playing.  We need to continue to show up ready to play hard, regardless of who our opponent is.”

Bemidji broke game one open in the top of the second inning when they scored 7 runs on 5 hits, 3 walks and 2 Post 30 errors.  Leading hitters for Fergus Falls were Ben Swanson (1-3), Ethan Gronwold (1-3) and Colin Becker (1-2).

In game two, Owen Krueger led the way at the plate with two doubles in three at bats, driving in 3 runs.  Swanson, Gronwold and Brandon Brown had one hit each.  Bemidji took control of this game with 8 runs in the 2nd and 4 more in the 3rd.
