Dark, heavy cloud hung ominously over the Judith Basin County Fairgrounds on Sunday afternoon. In the stands waited the rodeo crowd, many of them preparing for the onslaught of rain that was certain to come, while others maintained a positive outlook. Certainly, it wouldn’t rain on this “parade.”

Correction

In Saturday’s News-Argus Sports, it was reported Andrew Lalum had shoulder surgery in the story about the Lewistown Redbirds baseball team. Lalum had strained his shoulder and was held out of a couple of Redbird games as a precautionary measure. Lalum was the designated hitter for several games, and he did come back to play his shortstop position before he was allowed to pitch.
The News-Argus regrets the error.

Article Image Alt Text

The Lewistown Redbirds used strong pitching from Jace Davis and Andrew Lalum to sweep the Knights of Medicine Hat on Tuesday at Ryan Sparks Field. The sweep over the Knights gave the Lewistown American Legion team a measure of revenge over Medicine Hat, which swept the Birds in Canada in late June. The win, the Redbirds 10th in 12 games, upped the Birds conference mark to 18-6 with four conference games left.
