FLANDREAU – Flandreau’s Blue Teal amateur baseball team kept their season record unblemished with a pair of double-digit wins last week.
The Teal, now 3-0, downed the Elkton Snappers, 16-1 on Thursday and opened Corn Belt League play with a win over the Baltic Riverdawgs.

Witte tallied up six RBI and scored two runs. Riley batted in three and Kolby Peters had three runs. Also leading at the plate was Brayden Byrum with a pair of singles.
