The Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team was hoping to end its week of eight district games with a sweep Saturday over Lethbridge at Legion Field. However, after losing the opening game 12-0, the North Stars simply needed to find a way to get a split, which they did thanks to an 8-7 victory in the second game of the Northern A District doubleheader. The win improved Havre's overall record to 15-17 and its district mark to 9-7. "Getting a split was huge," North Stars...
