Sunday is scheduled to be a day that Ernie Banks would for love amateur baseball teams in Region 13C. All 14 teams will be in action, with a lot of them playing two games.
Jackson and Lakefield will be two of the teams playing doubleheaders.
The Bulls start the day with a 1 p.m. game vs. First Nite League-leading Windom at 1 p.m. and conclude with a 5 p.m. contest at Worthington.
"Windom is the best team in our league right now," said Jackson Manager Scott Bahr. "They beat Fairmont. We somehow knocked them off at Windom so you know they'll be coming after us. I'm sure they'll get themselves set up for that game and then after that game we pack up the bags and drive over to Worthington for a split doubleheader for an interesting day for the Bulls. Hopefully it stays dry for us. I know everybody needs rain but hopefully it rains around us and we can get those games in on Sunday."
Windom leads the FNL with an 11-1 record, with the loss to the Bulls on May 30 being the lone setback. Fairmont is 10-2.
Lakefield plays both of its Sunday games on the road. The Frogs have a 2 p.m. game at Pipestone and then swing through Windom on the way home for a 6 p.m. date with the Pirates at Island Park.
Heron Lake is also scheduled to play two on Sunday. The Lakers had been slated to have their alumni game on Saturday but that got rained out. That will now be held at 11 a.m. Sunday prior to Heron Lake’s game vs. the Milroy Irish.
