Bison survive tournament’s first day

Posted 5/25/11 (Wed)

The Hazen baseball team had their ups and downs Monday during the start of the Region 6 Tournament in Beulah but were able to shave off elimination with an outstanding round of hitting. Unfortunately it left the Bison right were they started in another game backyard rivals, the Beulah Miners, in a loser-out contest Tuesday. The winner advanced to play Velva-Drake-Anamoose for the title.
Hazen opened the day with a back-and-forth battle with the Miners en route to the 5-3 Beulah win. Then they responded well with a 12-1 victory in five innings against Central McLean to send the Cougars packing.
