Babe Ruth hits diamond for first weeks of play

Rainouts and field availability have largely kept the Carrington Babe Ruth (13-to-15 year old) Redbirds baseball program on the shelf for the first two weeks of their schedule, but they have nevertheless gotten three games into the books.

Because of ongoing repair work at City Park, all three of the varsity contests have been on the road.

On June 10, the Redbirds traveled to face Nelson County, and dropped a 7-3 decision to the young Owls.

Two days later, on June 12, Carrington ran into a talented Hatton/Northwood squad, and were on the short end of a 16-1 loss.

Last Monday, June 17, the 'Birds took on the Thompson #2 team, and were defeated by a score of 13-0.

The scheduled home opener on Wednesday, June 19 with Mayville #1 was postponed with the park renovation work. Even if that had been finished, rains which hit the field rendered the outfield unplayable.

Listed games on the schedule for this upcoming week are home dates with Hillsboro/Central Valley (June 26) and Devils Lake (June 27).
