Sheyenne-New Rockford continue skid, lose both ends of doubleheader
NEW ROCKFORD – Any baseball fan will preach one of the tell-tale signs of a baseball season: while it has ups, it certainly has downs, too.
The Sheyenne-New Rockford Black Sox have illustrated this philosophy right down to the letter, even if they have not particularly enjoyed it. After starting the season 2-1, the Black Sox have since dropped each of their last four games, dating back to April 11 (8-4 to Carrington). The team’s most recent losses came in a doubleheader held at LaMoure High School Tuesday evening. Here is how the team fared during their two-game slate against Kidder County Co-Op (Steele/Tappen) and LaMoure-Litchville/Marion on April 26:
