 Well, now it's officially summer. That includes summer sports throughout the Bemidji Youth programs this past weekend. Teams from all over Northern and Central Minnesota flooded the softball diamonds in Bemidji. For Bemidji Blaze softball tournament, what a weekend it was as four champions were crowned from ages of 10 years old all the way up to 18. The 12 year olds though we go, they played DGF in the semis, Lexi Tatro to the pitcher, run scores, RBI they would come up just short though. To the 18 new youth squad also playing DGF, got on the board in the first, half ball gets down on some green, Jade Frenzel scores to extend their lead, but they run into some trouble, bottom half bases loaded for the Rebels, but Hope Pirro gets the strikeout swinging to end the threat and they get on the board again in the third, McKenna Quinn, she ropes one to the wall and left. How about an RBI triple, DGF ends up winning a close one in the end. They would win the whole thing in the 16-18 also in the 12, but in the 10 under, the blaze that took that one.
