Ward claims tourney title

Matt Ward survived two tough matches on a warm, windy day at the Jamestown Country Club. He survived a slow start and finished strong on the back nine to claim his first Elks Labor Day golf tournament title on Monday. “It was tough going,” said Ward, a former general manager at the country club. “The weather conditions were tough. It was super windy. I think we both were playing the wind moreso than each other.”

Scott, Anderson, Sorenson named MVPs

The Class AAA state amateur baseball tournament got off to a rough start for Erik Scott and the Jamestown Elks. The finish, however, was nearly perfect — literally. The Elks lost their opener Friday night 2-1 to the Mayville Redcaps, only to reel off four straight wins to capture their first AAA crown since 2005. After going 1-8 with a double in the Elks’ first two games, Scott — the recently graduated all-Dakota Athletic Conference outfielder from Mayville State — had hits in 11 of his last 12 at bats and mixed in a three-hit shutout in the first of two wins over the three-time defending champion Jamestown Miller Lite Merchants.

Elks prevail

The Jamestown Elks proved they could dig themselves out of a hole this weekend. After losing their opener on Friday, the Elks reeled off four straight wins, including two on Sunday, to claim their first Class AAA state amateur tournament championship since 2005. The Elks swept the three-time defending AAA champion Jamestown Miller Lite Merchants on a windy, but otherwise pleasant day at Jack Brown Stadium, overcoming an early 3-0 deficit en route to a 10-6 win in the clincher. They won the first game 6-0 behind a dynamic performance on the mound and at the plate from Erik Scott.
