Post 400, Dickinson split Legion baseball doubleheader


FARGO — The Fargo Post 400 Stars and the Dickinson Roughriders split an American Legion baseball doubleheader on Monday at Starion Field.

Post 400’s Colby Hanson and Chase Lura got the better of a pitchers’ duel against Dickinson’s Jeremiah Jilek in a 2-0 win. But Jilek exacted his revenge at the plate in game two, collecting three hits and driving in four runs in the Roughriders’ 10-3 victory.

In the first game, Hanson and Jilek battled through three scoreless innings but Post 400 broke through with two runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Fargo’s Gus Pankratz led off with a line-drive double to left field. Caleb Christianson followed with a ground ball that the Roughriders booted, allowing Christianson to reach and Pankratz to score the game’s first run.

Hanson and Lura did the rest, retiring nine of the last 10 Dickinson batters, with Lura allowing only a two-out walk in the sixth before recording a strikeout to end the inning.

Hanson allowed just two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in five innings to get the win. Lura finished off the last two innings to get the save.

Majerus was 2-for-3 and Hanson, Pankratz and Kane Mathiason had Post 400’s other hits.

Jilek went all six innings, allowing one earned run on five hits. He walked two and struck out three.

In the second game, the Roughriders put the Stars in a hole early, taking a 6-0 lead with three runs in both the first and second innings. Post 400 got two runs back in the third but any momentum the Stars may have built evaporated when Dickinson got those two back in the top of the fourth. The Roughriders scored two more in the sixth.

Wisconsin basketball wing announces transfer portal destination


Former Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball wing Jack Robison announced he’d be transferring to North Dakota State University.

The Bison landed the 6-foot-6 forward who still has two years of eligibility remaining.

The 2026 Summit League Champions finished the 2025-26 season 27-8 overall as they suffered a 92-67 defeat in the NCAA Tournament to No. 3 Michigan State.

With only two seniors on their roster a year ago, NDSU is looking to pick up right where they left off. Robison didn’t have a ton of playing time in his two-year career with the Badgers, but his 30 appearances helped him get his feet wet.

Robison averaged 1.8 minutes per game in 2025-26, which was up from the 1.2 he averaged as a freshman. Not only were his minutes up, but he appeared in four more games as he was beginning to catch Greg Gard’s attention.

The Badgers have a ton of turnover heading into 2026-27, but Robison was the first to announce where he’d be heading. Wisconsin still awaits John Blackwell’s decision to see if he’s staying in the Big Ten or not, but Badgers fans at least know where they can follow Robison’s career for potentially his final two collegiate seasons.

Current state of gas prices even though North Dakota has oil presence

Current state of gas prices even though North Dakota has oil presence


MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) — The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to impact gas prices here at home.

We wanted to learn more about the current state of prices and why they aren’t lower due to the presence of the oil industry in our state.

On Monday, we told you gas prices are up roughly 15 cents across the peace garden state since last Monday and almost half a dollar in the past month.

The statewide average of $3.60 a gallon remains well below most of the rest of the country.

Eugene Graner of Heartland Investors said prices should eventually come back down as we approach an end to the conflict overseas.

Graner added that it’s typical for prices to increase as warmer weather approaches, as summer blends require a more expensive refining process.

“Prices currently may have peaked out and conversely see the prices decline towards summer, when we normally expect a price rise,” said Graner.

While North Dakota has drilling, pipelines and refineries, Graner added that doesn’t mean motorists in our state will necessarily see lower prices at the pump, as it still needs to be transported to refineries and then to market.

He added that Fargo can sometimes have ‘lower’ prices since they have three pipelines in the area.
