Claremont Legion and Junior Legion baseball seasons both came to an end in regional tournament play.
The Legion nine lost to Clark-Willow Lake 9-1 and Warner-Ipswich-Northwes13-2 in the Region 6B tournament played in Clark July 23-24. In the Region 1B Junior Legion tournament in Sisseton last week Tuesday and Wednesday the Honkers dropped decisions to Clark 11-0, Sisseton 8-1, and Groton 12-2 in round-robin play. The two Claremont squads ended up with a combined record of 10-17.
“We played a lot of teams older than us and were competitive against a lot of those clubs,” said Claremont coach Joe Gustafson. “The guys get along really well and it makes for a fun experience.”
Seventeen of the team’s 20 players will return next season with just three players aging out - Will Schuller, Jesse Keough, and Tristan Leidholdt.
