It was kind of hard to believe, but the Region 3 Baseball Tournament at City Park May 23-25 represented the first home games all season for the Carrington Cardinals in the physical sense. The weather needed to cooperate just enough in the last few weeks of the season for the outfield to dry sufficiently from heavy snowpack and rain to make the venue playable. Seeded second coming into play, the Cards opened up with a meeting with surprise first-round winner SNR. The sixth-seeded Black Sox won...
