The games that got written up
The league publishes no results on its own page. The association's reporting carries several: Nisswa 8, Fort Ripley 0, a no-hitter. Foley 2, Fort Ripley 1, in eleven innings. Sobieski 15, Foley 3. Buckman 10, St. Stephen 0. Avon 11, St. Stephen 0, an elimination game.
An eleven-inning one-run game and a no-hitter in the same league in the same stretch is a good fortnight of baseball.
Fort Ripley appear in three of those and lost all three.
High Cheese scores the game at the field, offline if the signal drops, and posts the box score when the book is finalized, so a no-hitter has nine innings behind it rather than a headline.
