Bemidji finally gets its chance to host Sub-State F baseball tournament

Last July, the Bemidji American Junior Legion baseball team achieved a significant victory by winning the District F Sub-State Tournament, earning them a spot in the state competition. The original plan was for the Woodpeckers to celebrate this championship win on their home field. However, severe weather on June 21, 2025, disrupted these arrangements, leading to the tournament being moved to Perham.

Despite the unforeseen circumstances and the disruption caused by last summer's storms, the team's journey to the state tournament was a testament to their resilience. This year, Bemidji is set to welcome the Sub-State F Tournament, providing the Woodpeckers with the home advantage they were denied previously.

As the defending champions, the Woodpeckers will be aiming to repeat their success and secure another trip to the state tournament. Hosting the event adds an extra layer of motivation for the team as they compete for the title on familiar ground.
