Kingsford Wins Legion Title; Escanaba Runner-Up
 ESCANABA---The Kingsford Blues scored six runs in the first inning and cruised to an 11-4 win over the Escanaba Cubs in the championship game of the U.P. Zone Five American Legion Baseball Tournament on Sunday at Al Ness Field. This after the Cubs won two games on Saturday to force the winner-take-all contest. Escanaba beat Menominee, 4-3, in nine innings, and then topped Kingsford, 11-1, in seven innings on Saturday. All three teams that played on Saturday had already qualified for the state tournament, scheduled for next week in downstate Adrian. We will post that schedule when it becomes available.
