Twins Lead Pee Wee League After Week of 2-0 Start
The Twins remain atop the Pee Wee League with a 2-0 mark after beating the Yankees 7-2 and 9-6. Dodgers outscored Giants 15-8 and 11-11 in a split. Cubs took two of three from Mets 5-4 and 9-4 while Mets won the third 6-6 after a trade to balance the teams. DeWayne Torkelson leads Mets hitters with .615 average on 8-for-18. Top nine hitters include Torkelson, Venteicher, Steffensen, Rippentrop, Heiman, Grass, Feldick, Bosma, and Heyer. Disappointing turnout in the 14-16 group prompts a rescheduled 12-13 and 14-15 game today at Blue Earth, with future out-of-town games depending on weekly practice turnout.
