So are those guys coming back or not? I know Dickinson has Herauf, Steffan, and Kovacs coming back. What about the other towns?

Alex Moe from Grand Forks got cleared to play for the Royals this summer. That should help out the Royals if he can stay healthy.

Yeah, BSC's conference. I believe that BSC also took last in the conference, not sure on that though.
Other note: I believe Brady Wolf will be coming back for the governors, played out at BSC.

3 homers ( Grand Slam, 3 run homer, 2 run homer ) ... hit two in one inning.... no triple though...

Ya, we got a short porch..... played minot monday in which there was like 6 or 7 HRs, Bollinger had 3.... then last nights games there was 5 HRs... Only one of Keller's was legit legit though, one was a pop up that got out and the other a screaming line drive, still impressive i guess

What's the deal with this new kid in Dickinson - newcomer Ryan Crossingham, a Dickinson State pitcher who just finished his freshman year. Out of Santa Fe, N.M., Crossingham is a right-hander who had five appearances for the Blue Hawks this spring. How is he eligible to play?

gunna go out on a limb and say he's still legion eligible because hes 18 legion age and now makes his residence in dickinson, therefore he can play legion ball. tah dah.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was a little bit more complicated than that. I thought that players that go off to college had to play for the American Legion post they played for the summer before they left for college or that the players parents had to make the new city their legal residence. What's stopping college players from out-of-state with one more year of eligibility that attend UND, NDSU, UMary or Minot State from playing American Legion baseball for Grand Forks, Fargo, Bismarck or Minot respectively? Seems kinda fishy to me.

Doesn't it just have to be their legal residance if they are from college? if they are in college, they are 18, thus not having to live under their parents or a gaurdian. I know Jeremy Campbell played in Bismarck after his Freshman year at Mary and he's from Bottineau.

Campbell is a good example. I thought his parents had a legal residence in Bismarck, I thought they owned a house or condo or something.

one example would be pj pena who played his legion ball/high school ball somewhere in arizona and then move to Jamestown to play for the Jimmies and stayed there during the summer and played his legion ball in Jamestown

Campbell's parents had a legal residence in Bismarck. His mom lived with him down there and that is what made him elgible to play for Bismarck. I do believe I heard something a while back that if a kid is elgible for another year of legion after college the team that he played for the previous summer has to sign some papers in order for the kid to transfer and play somewhere else.
