Muskies, Lakers still unbeaten in DRS
New Market and Faribault remained unbeaten in Dakota- Rice-Scott League play. The Muskies sit atop the league standings with a 9-0 record, two games ahead of second place Faribault, at 5- 0.
There were several rainouts last week, but most games were played over the Memorial Day weekend. That gave teams a chance to get on track. New Prague won two games to gain some momentum, as several college players returned home for the summer, giving the team a lift.
