Yellow Jackets Aim For Strong Baseball Season

With a solid group of returning players back, the Wolf Point Yellowjackets aim to be competitive in the American Legion baseball race this season.

Coach Ray Ostby said there are about 20 players in the Babe Ruth/Legion ranks including 13 Babe Ruth players. “We would like more Legion players,” Ostby said.

Returning players include Terry Allmer at pitcher and first base. Allmer gained a good deal of experience this school year playing for a two-year college at Penn State.

Other players back include Trevin Boysun, outfielder Kelby Bauer, Preston Swenson and Charlie Page. Canyon Casterline will catch and play shortstop.

Pitching could be a strength with Allmer, Page and Boysun.

The Babe Ruth team has been playing on Fridays and Sundays. The Babe Ruth district includes Froid, Plentywood, Scobey, Froid and Glasgow. The All-Stars will play at the state tournament on July 15-18 in Miles City.

The first home game for the Yellowjackets is June 22.
