Washburn and Bayfield baseball game ends in dispute
Sunday’s Bayfield versus Washburn game was halted in the eighth inning after Bayfield refused the umpire’s decision.

Bayfield balked, the crowd erupted, and play stopped amid ill feeling. Washburn claims victory under rules, while Bayfield contests the result. A rematch is expected nearby in a week or two.
