North Stars split Northern District opening games

It was and up-and-down first two conference games for the Havre American Legion baseball team.

On Thursday in Conrad, the North Stars split a pair of games with the Tri-County Cardinals to open Northern District play. Havre beat the Cardinals 12-4 in game one but fell 7-4 in the nightcap.

In the first game, the North Stars got a complete-game win from Justin Jensen on the mound. Jensen also helped his own cause by driving in a pair of runs.

He also got plenty of help from his teammates. Kyle Miller smashed a home run and a double on his way to a 2-for-3 performance and three RBIs.
