Lakers, Royals to continue light-shortened Legion game

The Kalispell Lakers will pick up where they left off in a American Legion Class AA conference baseball game against the Billings Royals today.

The second game of a doubleheader between the teams was shortened by a light tower malfunction on Tuesday night.

The Royals had just taken a 2-1 lead and had a runner on second base with no outs in the sixth inning when the tower burst, leaving the game partially unlit.

The game will continue from that point starting today at 5 p.m.
