Lotts Creek Nine to Play Here Sunday
The Lotts Creek baseball nine, tied for second in the Kossuth League, meet the Bisons here next Sunday June 16 at 2 30 p m. The Bisons lost their fourth straight Sunday to Bancroft Lions 7 to 1. Errors hurt Bancroft, Beaver pitched well for the Bisons allowing 7 hits, Peterson homer for the Bisons only run. Patterson for the Lions allowed 6 hits. Andrew Olson will miss time due to injuries from a car crash Saturday. Harry Matson will join the lineup next Sunday. The Bisons woes stem from lack of practice as the new park wasn’t ready. With the field now good, fans can expect some Bisons wins.
