Even though the Two Harbors Agates baseball squad gave up three runs in the fourth inning, they still defeated Cook County Vikings 12-3 in the first game of a doubleheader last Friday in Two Harbors. In the first inning, the Agates got their offense started when Viking Jacob Dorr’s wild pitch allowed one run to score for Two Harbors.
Silver Bay earned a couple baseball wins this past week as they head closer to the Section 7A playoffs. Last Thursday’s game against Barnum was moved to Moose Lake because the Bomber field was underwater after the inches of rain that fell over the area the night before.

Agate Lamar Gordon, pictured here at right with her special award as winner of the 1600-meter race at the Matt Kero Memorial Track Invitational hosted by Duluth Denfeld High School on May 13. The meet, first held in 2012, is in honor of Matt Kero, a Denfeld graduate and former athlete who passed away after graduating high school. Since 2017 the Kero family has been awarding the winners special medals to winners of the 1600-meter run, dubbing it “Matt’s Mile”. Gordon’s win this year marked the third time Agate’s have winners of “Matt’s Mile”, with Sydney Haugan winning in 2017, and Isaac Swanson in 2019.

Local Farm Coins PUREfed After USDA Threatens $20,130 Fine It was agonizing for me and husband Ron of Salt and Light Heritage Farm when we recently decided not to certify their farm as organic with the USDA.
