Starting off the season with a sparkling 8-3 defeat of Crosby-Ironton, the Brainerd Warriors launched the 1955 baseball season in pursuit of another district title. Coached by Kermit Aase, the Warriors played error less ball in turning back a strong C-I nine. The Aasemen's second game was a high scoring affair, with Staples squeezing out an 11-10 victory. In the last of the seventh, a walk, fielder's choice, and a long double scored the winning run. The Warriors won a return engagement with Staples 5-4, but lost to C-I a week later 7-1 as Brainerd's hitters were handcuffed by C-I's little left handier, Gerry Sanderson. Brainerd's weak hitting continued as they were shut out by Aitkin 5-0, due to a school regulation, seniors couldn't make the trip. A powerful barrage of hitting won the first district game, a 16-2 revenge over Aitkin. In the next game, Sebeka extended the Aasemen an extra inning before a six hit attack plated four runs for the margin of victory. The district finals brought the Warriors against a classy, hard hitting Little Falls nine which dumped the Warriors 7-2, bringing a close to another successful season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
