Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

JAMESTOWN — The Tarno NODAKS came out on the right side of a slugfest against Casselton in the semifinals of the 2024 Class A Amateur State Baseball Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 3, at Jack Brown Stadium.
The Tarnos got off to a fast start as Danny Fischer hit a triple and scored on a wild pitch to take a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Tarnos offense’s groove continued from there when Connor Hoyt came up with the bases loaded and one out and the future Valley City State Viking hit a single to clear the bases and push the lead out to 4-0. The Tarnos were not done there as they added three more in the frame to go up 7-0.
Casselton took advantage of NODAK miscues in the bottom of the second as they scored four runs on three hits and two errors to bring the game to within three runs at 7-4.
The Tarnos had a chance to push their lead out further as they had a runner on third and only one out but a strikeout and flyout ended the inning.
The Tarnos showed off their patience in the fifth inning as they scored six runs on four walks, two hits and one error to push the lead out to 13-4. Casselton was able to tack on four runs in the bottom of the fifth thanks to three wild pitches and one bases-loaded hit by pitch to cut the deficit to 13-8.
The Tarnos fought back once again in the top of the fifth with a two-run inning to extend the lead back out to 15-8. They were not done there though with the squad putting up three more runs in the top of the seventh to take a ten-run lead.
