MISQUAH — The Misquah Post 162 Legion baseball team picked up its first win of the season Wednesday, beating Birchard 5–3 at the Legion field under a single working light tower that, manager Sonny Dahl reported afterward, “held, on account of nobody leaning on the panel.”

Cody Lindholm bounced back from a rough opener to go six strong innings for the win, allowing three runs and striking out seven. “Wind was calmer,” Lindholm offered, when asked what had changed. The wind, again, was unavailable for comment.

Catcher Ben Aune drove in three of Misquah’s five runs, including a two-out single in the fifth that broke a 3–3 tie. Aune now has the team’s only runs batted in across its first two games, a distinction Dahl called “a compliment to Ben and a to-do list for everybody else.”

The lone light tower flickered twice in the seventh, prompting a brief pause and a longer prayer, but stayed on. Post 162 (1–1) hosts Two Rivers on June 24 and travels to Sandy Lake on June 26.
