Post Falls Legion Team Loses District Title Game

Trail, British Columbia, captured its first Idaho District I American Legion baseball championship late Monday, defeating the Prairie Cardinals of Post Falls 10-5 in the title game in Lewiston.

The game was still being played when the newspaper went to press Monday night.

Prairie had secured a berth in the State AA Tournament earlier Monday with a 7-1 win over Sandpoint.

The Cardinals (29-26) will make their third straight trip to state under coach Darren Taylor.

Trail (31-10) and Prairie open state Saturday at Lewis-Clark State College’s Harris Field. Prairie opens against District III champion Pocatello (34-19) at 9 a.m., while Trail meets District II runner-up Treasure Valley of Ontario, Ore., at 12:30 p.m.

In other openers, District II champ Nampa takes on District III runnerup Idaho Falls at 4, followed by host Lewis-Clark (32-17) against Twin Falls (20-28), last year’s host, at 7:30.
